Steak and Potatoes

Steak is such an easy and quick meal and once you learn how to cook steak the right way it turns out perfect every time. I tried these new potatoes called Alexia Oven Fries (I got the Olive oil, rosemary & garlic variety)


and they turned out to be delicious! All of their products air on the healthy side and this one is no exception. I can't wait to try out more of their products. Often times with steak I wont try recipes but just make up my own and that is what I did below.


Balsamic Steak

Tri-Tip Steak

Salt and Pepper

Garlic Powder

Balsamic Vinegar


Bring steaks to room temperature for about 10-15 minutes. Season steaks with salt and pepper and garlic powder on both sides. Put steaks in a dish with balsamic vinegar and let marinade for at least 5-30 minutes. Place steaks on a hot grill for about 4-5 minutes per side. Let steaks rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
WW points - 5 (for 3 oz. of meat)


Lemon Broccoli (also works very well with green beans)

1 Head of Broccoli

1 Tbs. of Butter

1 Tbs. of Lemon Juice

1 tsp. of Lemon Zest
WW points - 1 (for a 1 cup serving)


Steak broccoli until almost tender. Heat butter in a pan over medium-high heat until it starts to foam. Add lemon juice and stir for 30 seconds until combined. Add broccoli and coat it with the juices for about 30 second. Add lemon zest and serve.

We've had those french fries before too. My husband really likes them and I try to avoid them. Looks like you had a really good dinner!
I lived about 30 minutes outside of Seattle. My brother went to UW too. I love it up there and my husband and I are hoping to move back. I'm working on finishing school first.
