A filling steak dinner can be healthy while still feeling decadent when you pair a delicious piece of skirt steak with Brussels sprouts topped with almonds.

Ingredients

  • 1 skirt steak (1 ½ pounds), cut into 4 pieces

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and thinly sliced

  • ¼ cup chopped almonds, toasted

  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Directions

  1. Season steak with coarse salt and ground pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add steak and cook until medium-rare, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate to rest.

  2. Reduce heat to medium and melt butter. Add Brussels sprouts and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in almonds and lemon juice. Serve steak with Brussels sprouts.

Cook's Notes

A hot skillet ensures that the steak gets a great sear without the need for oil.Tip: before you juice your lemon, finely grate the zest over a piece of plastic wrap; twist to seal. Refrigerate and save for another night's dinner.
