This simple, quick, and nutritious meal is perfect for a busy weeknight. The brown-sugar rub with a dash of cayenne pepper gives the steak a nice flavor and a tad bit of heat. Even using an inexpensive chuck steak, the steak was tender and delicious. Flank, skirt, or tri-tip steak can be substituted if you prefer a different cut of meat. Sautéed Brussel Sprouts and Easy Roasted Potatoes are a couple of my go-to side dishes. Potatoes are a no-brainer when having steak, and it’s always good to add something green for a well balanced meal. Not only am I giving you amazing recipes, but I am watching out for your health too. You are welcome! 🙂
Buon Appetito!
