Makes 4 Servings

1. Heat the broiler
2. Rub both sides of the steak with 2 teaspoons of the lime juice. Sprinkle both sides with 2 teaspoons of the chili powder and rub it in. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Let sit while you make the onion relish.
3. In a medium bowl, combine the onion, cilantro, remaining 5 teaspoons lime juice and remaining 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (add more chili powder to taste if you'd like).
4. Broil the steak 6 inches from the heat for about 6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let sit for 5 minutes before thinly slicing at an angle before the grain.
5. Divide the steak and onion relish evenly among 4 plates and serve warm.

Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Super Quick Cookbook. This Phase 1 dinner is another great way to kick-start your healthy lifestyle. This steak is full of heat and flavor and the onion relish will cool your taste buds. If the weather is nice, I highly recommend grilling your steak because steak tastes just as good grilled as it does broiled.
