Steakhouse Salad - 31g Carbs, 11g Fiber:Diabetic Low Carbohydrate Recipe

Grill the finest of steaks, filet mignon, and arrange it atop
fresh greens and plenty of vegetables to make a delicious
"composed" salad.

Preparation time: 20 min
Cooking time: 16 min

-->Steak
4 medium red bell peppers
10 oz trimmed filet mignon
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 garlic clove
1 lb green beans, trimmed

-->Dressing
3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove
2 Tbsp minced shallot

To Serve
8 cups mesclun (about 4 oz)
6 medium tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch wedges

1. Preheat grill or broiler. Put red peppers on grill rack or broiler
pan. Cook until skins are blistered and blackened, about 10 minutes,
turning frequently. Put in paper bag, seal tightly, and let steam
10 minutes. Peel away blackened skins from peppers, seed, and cut
into chunks.

2. Meanwhile, lay filet flat on cutting board and slit lengthwise
three-fourths of the way through. Open like a book and press flat.
Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cut 1 garlic
clove in half and rub cut sides all over beef. Grill or broil beef
until done to taste, about 3 minutes on each side for medium. Thinly
slice beef.

3. Cook beans in boiling water until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
Drain and rinse immediately with cold water.

4. Mince remaining garlic clove. Whisk vinegar, oil, garlic, shallot,
and remaining salt and pepper in small bowl. Divide mesclun among
plates and arrange steak, red peppers, beans, and tomatoes on top.
Drizzle with dressing.

Some More Ideas - -

* Use other lean cuts of meat such as sirloin or top round in
place of filet mignon.
* Use roasted yellow or orange bell peppers instead of red ones.
* Make an herb dressing. To the vinegar and oil mixture, add
2 teaspoons finely chopped thyme and basil.

Health Points = =
Choosing the right cuts and controlling your portion sizes are the
secret to making beef a part of a healthy, lean diet.

Beef can range widely in its healthiness—3 ounces of cooked rib
roast, for example, has 24 grams of fat, while the same amount of
top round has 5.4 grams of fat. Filet mignon, which is used in this
recipe, falls in the middle. Beef is rich with potassium, zinc,
and vitamin B12, as well as protein.
