- 100 grams (3.5 ounces) extra lean steak*
- ⅛ tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- Simple Girl Steak Seasoning (optional)
- 8 ounces homemade chili tomato sauce (see recipe below)
- 1 large or 2 small tomatoes, chopped
- ⅛ tsp chili powder
- 3 drops clear stevia
- 3 garlic cloves, minced**
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- ⅛ tsp sea salt
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
- ⅛ tsp cumin
- Chop tomatoes and mince fresh garlic. Combine with the rest of the ingredients.
-
Mince the garlic cloves.**
-
In a small saucepan, add chopped tomato, garlic, cumin, onion powder, chili powder, stevia, salt and pepper.
-
Stir tomato and spices together.
-
Cover with lid and simmer on low heat for about 10-15 minutes until warm, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
-
Preheat a non-stick pan or grill over medium heat.
-
Sprinkle steak with salt and pepper. Or, for added flavor, use the Simple Girl Steak Seasoning. This seasoning will make you think you’re in a top-rated steak house, rather than eating a boring, ‘diet’ meal at home.
-
Add the seasoned steak to non-stick pan or grill and cook over medium heat until both sides are browned and the steak is cooked to your desired level of 'doneness'.
-
Remove the steak from the pan or grill, set aside, and let cool.
-
Once the steak is thoroughly cooled, cut it into small cubes (about 1-inch).
-
Remove the tomato mixture from heat and pour into a bowl.
-
Add steak pieces, top with more salt and pepper if desired, and enjoy!
-
You may mix the steak and tomato sauce together or use the sauce for dipping.
*Ensure you have the correct type of steak. Use extra lean steak with no more than 10% fat. The best types of steak for the HCG Diet are filet mignon, flank steak, T-bone, top round, top sirloin, and tenderloin.
**You should always mince fresh garlic rather than using pre-minced garlic from the grocery store. Most pre-minced garlic contain preservatives. Be on the safe side... mince your own fresh garlic cloves for the best possible weight loss.
