Guys, you can eat beef and still lose weight but you have to choose your beef wisely. This is a great recipe for cooking a low fat steak and packing plenty of flavor into it. |
Additional Tips
The lemon juice helps the seasonings stick to the lettuce and when I've served this people don't seem to ask where the oil went. This salad is fresh tasting and bright.
