Diabetic Recipe of the Week: Salad Bar Salsa With Grilled Flank Steak

Makes: 4 servings

Serving Size: 1/3 cup salsa, 3 oz. steak

Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

Salsa

1 cup yellow corn

1 cup diced tomatoes or quartered cherry tomatoes

1/4 cup diced red or white onion

2 Tbsp. minced scallions

3 Tbsp. fresh lime juice

1/2 Tbsp. olive oil

1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

1/4 tsp. sugar

Steak

1 lb. flank steak

Nonstick cooking spray

2 tsp. paprika

1 tsp. chili powder

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

1 Tbsp. olive oil

Preparation

1. In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients for the salsa; set aside.

2. Trim any excess fat from the flank steak. Using a sharp knife, make 3 diagonal slashes across the top surface of the steak, cutting about 1/3 of the way through. This prevents the steak from curling on the grill.

3. Preheat the grill or broiler to medium-high heat. Coat the grill rack with nonstick cooking spray. Combine the paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Brush both sides of the steak with the 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Sprinkle the steak with the spice mixture. Grill the steak, about 4 to 6 inches from the heat source, for about 5 minutes per side or until desired doneness. 

4. Remove the steak from the grill onto a carving board; let stand 5 minutes. To slice, cut diagonally across the grain into thin slices. Serve with salsa, and if desired, corn tortillas and lime wedges.
