Ingredients:

  • 1.5 pounds sirloin steak, cut into cubes
  • 4 cups baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 1 cup baby carrots, whole or sliced
  • 1 cup green beans, trimmed
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cubed steak, baby potatoes, baby carrots, green beans, minced garlic, olive oil, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the ingredients are well coated.
  3. Cut four large pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil, each about 12×12 inches.
  4. Divide the steak and vegetable mixture among the foil pieces, placing it in the center.
  5. Fold the foil over the steak and vegetables, sealing the edges tightly to create individual packets.
  6. Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the steak is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the vegetables are tender.
  7. Carefully open the foil packets, taking care of the hot steam.
  8. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
  9. Serve the garlic steak and potato foil packets directly from the foil for easy cleanup.

Here are some tips that might help you on your weight loss journey with WW:

Understand the Points System:
Familiarize yourself with how WW assigns points to different foods. Foods that are higher in calories and lower in nutritional value will generally have higher points.

Meal Planning:
Plan your meals ahead of time to ensure you have a balance of protein, healthy fats, and carbohydrates.
Prepare healthy snacks to have on hand when hunger strikes.

Portion Control:
Pay attention to portion sizes. Even healthy foods can contribute to weight gain if you eat too much of them.

Stay Hydrated:
Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Sometimes our bodies can mistake thirst for hunger.

Include Lean Proteins:
Protein-rich foods can help you feel full and satisfied. Include sources like lean meats, fish, eggs, and plant-based proteins in your meals.

Load Up on Veggies:
Vegetables are low in points and high in nutrients. Incorporate a variety of colorful vegetables into your meals.

Choose Whole Foods:
Opt for whole, minimally processed foods. They often have fewer points and are more nutrient-dense.

Limit Added Sugars:
Foods high in added sugars can have higher point values. Be mindful of sweets and opt for natural sources of sweetness when possible.

Smart Snacking:
Choose smart snacks that are satisfying but won’t use up too many points. Examples include Greek yogurt, fresh fruit, or a small handful of nuts.

Track Your Points:
Consistently track your food intake using the WW app or a journal. This can help you stay accountable and make adjustments as needed.

Incorporate Physical Activity:
Exercise can earn you additional points, and it’s essential for overall health. Find activities you enjoy to make it a sustainable part of your routine.

Be Mindful of Zero-Point Foods:
While many fruits and vegetables are zero points, be mindful not to overeat them. Listen to your body’s hunger and fullness cues.
