Steak with Flavor: Steak with Chimichurri Sauce

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup lightly packed chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4 cup lightly packed chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tsp minced garlic powder
• 2 tbsp red-wine vinegar
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
• 1 tbsp taco/mexican seasoning
• 1 (1 1/4 lb) steak (I prefer sirloin)

1. Spray the rack of a broiler pan with olive oil nonstick spray and preheat the broiler.
2. To make the chinichurri sauce, combine the cilantro, parsley, garlic, vinegar, olive oil, 1/2tsp of salt and crushed red pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
3. Combine the taco seasoning and the remaining 1/2 tsp salt in a cup. Rub on the steak.
4. Place the steak on the broiler rack and broil about 5 inches from the heat unti sn instant-read thermometer inserted into the side of the steak registers 145F for medium, about 5 minutes on each side. Serve with Chimichurri sauce.

Time saver: To get a jumpstart, make the chimichurri sauce up to 2 hours ahead and store, covered, in the fridge. This recipe appears in the Weight Watchers in 20 Minutes Cookbook.
