Grill For a Guilt-Free Supper

Recipe:  Flank Steak With Radish Salsa

For a supper low in calories and fat, try this completely grilled menu for six. Yes! You can grill bread and even banana splits while sticking to your healthy eating plan. Grilling enhances flavor without adding fat, so is a natural choice for great-tasting, low calorie dishes.

The menu stars a classic grilled flank steak. Flank steak is a naturally lean cut of beef (less than 10 grams of fat per 3.5-ounce serving) and a budget-friendly steak choice. Sprinkle with Montreal steak seasoning and grill on each side for 8 minutes. Serve on top Italian-Herb Bread.
