INSTRUCTIONS
If your New Year's resolutions include an effort to eat better in 1999,
you're going to enjoy the month of January at Recipe-a-Day. The Cook &
Kitchen Staff are nearly halfway through 31 days of Recipe-a-Day~Light.
Today, we're going to celebrate two weeks of eating better with a steak.
That's right, a bit of spicy beef tenderloin that you'll need to trim to
remove any excess fat, but a steak all the same. Each serving contains
about 270 calories with 10 grams of fat, of which 3.5 grams is saturated
fat.
In a large non-stick skillet, warm one tablespoon of the olive oil over
medium heat. Add the onions and one-half teaspoon of the salt. Cover the
skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and very
tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and sugar. Reduce
the heat and keep the mixture warm.
In a small bowl, mix the thyme and pepper together with the remaining
teaspoon of salt. Rub the mixture evenly over the four steak portions.
In a heavy skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over
medium-high heat. Sear the steaks until well browned, about 5 minutes per
side for a medium-rare steak. Serve warm with the onions as a topping.
