New York Strip Steak


For those of you who think red meat can't possibly be healthy, you're wrong. It's all about portion control. One serving of this steak or about 5 oz. is around 360 calories. If you serve it with steamed or grilled veggies it's still under 500 calories. This one is easy and ready to go in 30 minutes...take that Rachael Ray!

What you'll need:
3 Tblsn Olive Oil
2 Tblsn White Wine Vinegar
2 Diced Garlic Cloves
2 Tblsn Dijon Mustard
1 Tblsn Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbln diced fresh tarragon
Pepper
2 5 oz strip steaks

Preheat grill to medium high
Mix first five ingredients in a bowl. Place steak in the bowl and cover with marinade. Allow steaks to marinade in the bowl at room temperature for 20 minutes. Rotate the meat at least once.

Brush off all excess marinade from the steaks. Place the steaks on direct medium heat -- go set your timer and discard the marinade. Cook the meat for approx. 8 minutes* (4 minutes on each side). Allow the steaks to rest for 3 minutes. Slice against the grain.

I served this with steamed squash and zucchini with 1 tablespoon Smart Balance Light butter and 1 teaspoon of shredded parmasan cheese.

Just a note...my steaks were REALLY thin so I should have cooked them for about 6 minutes total for medium rare. Next time!
