Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (4-6 oz each) Lean beef steak (sirloin or tenderloin, trimmed of fat)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 spray (as needed) Olive oil spray
- 0.75 cups Low sodium beef stock
- 0.25 cups Fat-free Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Green peppercorns (drained, if canned)
- 1 small Shallot (finely minced)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Season both sides of the steaks with salt and freshly ground black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly spray with olive oil. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or cook to your preferred doneness. Remove steaks from the pan, cover with foil, and let rest.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the minced shallot. Cook for about 2 minutes until softened, stirring often.
Deglaze the pan by adding the low sodium beef stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the green peppercorns, Dijon mustard, and a tablespoon of water. Stir well and let the mixture reduce slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Lower the heat and stir in the fat-free Greek yogurt. Mix until the sauce is smooth and heated through, but do not let it boil as the yogurt may curdle.
Plate the steaks and spoon the peppercorn sauce generously over each piece. Serve immediately with your favorite low-fat side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or roasted sweet potatoes.
