Create a mixture of fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, and parsley. These herbs add a burst of flavor without the need for heavy sauces or marinades.
Choose lean cuts of steak such as sirloin or flank steak. These cuts are lower in fat and calories, making them ideal for a healthy summer meal.
Keep your steak portions to 3-4 ounces per serving. This helps manage calorie intake while still providing ample protein to support muscle maintenance.
Opt for medium-sized Russet potatoes. These potatoes are perfect for baking and provide a hearty side dish to complement your steak.
Drizzle the potatoes with a small amount of olive oil before baking. This adds a touch of healthy fat and helps the potatoes crisp up in the oven.
Infuse the olive oil with garlic by heating it gently in a pan with crushed garlic cloves. This adds a subtle garlic flavor to both the potatoes and the steak.
Finish the steak with a pat of herb butter made with your fresh herb blend. This adds richness and flavor without adding excessive calories.
