Sirloin Steak with Green Beans and Tomatoes

Makes: 2 portions
Ingredients

• Sirloin steak, boneless and lean – 6 oz
• Olive oil in spritzer bottle – 1 spritz
• Green beans – 1 cup
• Tomatoes, chopped into large pieces – 1 tomato
• Garlic, minced – 3/4 tsp
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Heat oil in a nonstick pan on high heat. Add meat; cook on each side to desired doneness. Remove from pan and keep warm.
2. Lower heat to medium. Add green beans and sauté for about 3 minutes; add garlic and continue cooking for about a minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Add diced tomatoes to the pan and cook for about a minute. Cover pan and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, until tomatoes become somewhat saucy.
4. Plate the meat with vegetables on the side. Serve immediately with your favorite side for a high- or low-carb day; or portion out and store in the fridge or freezer until you’re ready to reheat and enjoy. Green beans and tomatoes can be refrigerated but will not freeze well.
