Select lean cuts of steak like sirloin, tenderloin, or flank. These cuts are lower in fat and calories but still offer great flavor.
Use a low-calorie marinade with ingredients like lemon juice, garlic, herbs, and a splash of olive oil.
Grill the steak over medium-high heat for a smoky, summer flavor. Aim for medium-rare to medium doneness to keep the steak tender and juicy.
Stick to a 3-4 ounce portion of steak per person to keep calorie intake in check while still enjoying the meal.
Choose small, waxy potatoes like red or Yukon Gold. These varieties hold their shape well and have a naturally creamy texture.
Boil or roast the potatoes with minimal oil. Add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper to boost flavor without extra calories.
Incorporate a variety of colorful vegetables like bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and zucchini. Grill or roast them alongside the steak.
Balance your plate with half vegetables, one-quarter potatoes, and one-quarter steak. This ensures you get plenty of fiber and nutrients while keeping calories low.
