Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces cube steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, low-sodium soy sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
Place the cube steaks in a shallow dish, pour the marinade over them, and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more intense flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
While the grill is heating, prepare the low-fat herb butter by mixing together the softened unsalted butter, chopped fresh parsley, chopped fresh chives, and lemon zest in a small bowl until well combined. Set aside.
Once the grill is hot, remove the cube steaks from the marinade and shake off any excess. Place them on the grill.
Grill the cube steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired level of doneness is reached.
Remove the steaks from the grill and place on a serving platter. Allow them to rest for a few minutes.
Top each steak with a small dollop of the herb butter while still warm so it melts over the meat.
Serve the grilled cube steaks with your choice of sides, such as grilled vegetables or rice.
