Steak-holders Meeting

So, below is the most basic recipe ever, but it was really good!! Sometimes uncomplicated is just as good as fancy schmancy...

Steak-holders Meeting













THICK steak, at least an inch or more, if you like it rare or medium rare, as I do
Salad makin's...( tonight was just romaine, lebanese cucumbers, tomato, red cabbage VERY thin...much more basic than my usual salads! )
Tzatziki, preferably homemade, zipped in the Bullet with a bit of extra nonfat  yogurt and a bit of extra lemon juice...OR....finely chop cucumber with the skin on and squeeze in paper towels til you get most of the water out.  Mix the cucumber with plain nonfat yogurt, garlic, lemon juice and some cilantro....

Get the grill HOT, and get the steak good and charred on the outside, leaving the inside rare...trim the fat off of it and slice it so that it shows the red on the plate...

Make up your salad and drizzle your tzatziki over the top of it...the cool, fresh flavour of the tzatziki contrasts with the smoky, robust flavour of the steak, and while the steak is hot, the salad is cold, and it's just a really nice contrast...

Enjoy!!!
