Budget-friendly flank steak paired with traditional Thai flavors gives you a filling salad for dinner that's less than 300 calories. Ingredients:
1/2 cup fresh lime juice |
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
2 tablespoons thai fish sauce |
2 tablespoons chile paste with garlic |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 (1 1/2-pound) flank steak, trimmed |
cooking spray |
1 1/2 cups vertically sliced red onion |
4 plum tomatoes, each cut into 6 wedges |
6 cups torn romaine lettuce |
1 1/4 cups thinly sliced english cucumber |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint |
Directions:
1. Prepare grill or broiler.
2. Combine first 6 ingredients, stirring until sugar dissolves; set half of lime mixture aside. Combine other half of lime mixture and steak in a large zip-top plastic bag; seal. Marinate in refrigerator 10 minutes, turning once. Remove steak from bag; discard marinade.
3. Place steak on grill rack or broiler pan coated with cooking spray; cook 6 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Let stand 5 minutes. Cut steak diagonally across grain into thin slices.
4. Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté 3 minutes. Add tomatoes; sauté 2 minutes. Place onion mixture, lettuce, cucumber, and mint in a large bowl; toss gently to combine. Divide salad evenly among 6 plates. Top each serving with 3 ounces steak; drizzle each serving with 1 tablespoon reserved lime mixture.
