On QVC they sell Kansas city steaks that are 4oz and only have 2 grams of fat (110 caloies from fat)., These are seasoned steaks that are certified by the American Heart association. This is what i eat when I need my meat fix.

 Ok, the key that I have found to really treating yourself is PORTION SIZE. You should be able to have whatever you crave, even if its not great for you. (My weakness is cheetos and chocolate) Go to a local grocery store as opposed to a big national chain. You can not only get smaller sizes, they usually have better and leaner cuts of meat. It may be a little more expensive, but it is workable. Look for a package with 3-4 small (2-4 oz) steaks. Cook 1 or 2 and freeze the rest for later. That way you can control your portion size and still get what you crave. Its what I do when I want steak...

Thank you for posting this link. I was going to buy this book, but now I dont have too. 

          Thanks !!

 I LOVE steak like there is no tomorrow.  The key to steak is getting a really lean cut of meat.  Last night I bought flank steak, 1 - its cheap; 2 - make so many recipes with it; 3 - really easy to work with as far as cutting all the fat off.

I made fajitas with a ton of sauteed peppers (all colors) and onions.  Whole wheat 4 inch fajitas, fat free sour cream, sugar free salsa, low fat cheese and my own seasoning.  It was outrageously full of flavor without sacrificing anything.

For the season to put on the meat and peppers/onions:

1 Tb - chili powder

1 tspn - paprika

1 tspn - cumin

1 tspn - Emril Essence

dash of Dried oregano.

Saute the onions in a little bit of either canola or vegatable oil, let them cook down some before you add peppers.  Once you add the peppers, take some of the seasoning and add it to the pan.  Mix well.  You want to keep an eye on it.  Once the peppers have cooked a bit, you still want a bit of the crunch left to them, add a splash of beef stock - not broth.  Make sure its sodium free or low sodium.  You can scrap up all the seasoning that has stuck to the bottom of the saute pan.

You want to rub the seasoning all over the flank steak, both sides.  I bought a large piece and cut it into to.  One was for dinner and the other was for lunch for both me and my husband.  Depending on how you like it cook, we do it medium.  7-9 minutes on one side and 5-7 minutes on the other side on a cast iron grill.  Reduce the times a bit for an outside grill.  Take it of the grill and LET IT REST!!  You will see all the juices which are great to add to the onions and peppers.  The second piece of meat I cooked a bit shorter and more rare as it would cook a litte in the microwave when it was heated up for lunch.

Its really filling, both on the stomach and the taste!!

I know how you feel about eating Chicken Fish and Turkey It does get annoying after awhile. I do eat Carne asada But I use my george foreman grill. I grill all of my meat even my fish. so yeah go ahead and eat some steak :)

Cool idea!  Thanks!  Tampabayb
