| It's a poor picture I know. Trust me, it's good. And because it's broiled you can just pick it up and eat it without it falling apart. :) |
I love this recipe from Mels Kitchen Cafe (LOVE) http://www.melskitchencafe.com/2008/01/man-pleasin-sandwich.html, but since her version's not fatty friendly ;D I changed it up so I could still have this yumminess while trying to lose weight. Whoever said you can't enjoy eating while losing weight is crazy. Yes, it may be true that if I didn't eat things like this sandwich I'd probably lose faster, but I'm having to lose weight because I LOVE FOOD. That's not going to change, so I have to learn to eat the things I love, and create them so they're better for me.
WWP+: 9ish points depending on the meat you use.
INGREDIENTS:
2 to 3 pounds cube steak (tenderized round steak that’s been extra-tenderized) or you can substitue flank steak that you've tenderized since it's leaner)

DIRECTIONS:
Slice onions, green and red pepper and cook in 2-3 TBS of beef broth and tsp butter until soft and onions are light brown. Remove and set aside. Slice cube steak against the grain. Season with Lawry’s. Heat 2 TBSP beef broth and 1 tsp butter over high heat (in same skillet) until melted and beginning to brown. Add meat in single layer. Cook one side until brown (don’t stir, just let the heat carmelize the meat and do it’s magic!), then flip and cook until brown, about a minute on both sides.
