Flank Steak with Spicy Lemon Sauce

Flank Steak with Spicy Lemon Sauce, adapted from Cooking Light May 2011
My changes-I was out of chives, so I omitted!

1 (1-pound) flank steak, trimmed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Cooking spray
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
3 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon canola or olive oil mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Preparation
1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle both sides of steak with salt and pepper. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add steak to pan; cook 5 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Place steak on a cutting board; let stand 5 minutes. Cut steak diagonally across grain into thin slices.



2. While steak cooks, combine sour cream and next 5 ingredients (through juice) in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Stir in parsley. Serve with steak.


I thought this made a great contrast with the flank steak, and made it a bit more interesting than usual. It was super quick to make! This sauce is SPICY. I am not a big fan of horseradish, so I would use 2 T next time instead. Sauce would be great on roast beef or steak sandwiches too!



Yum!

  1. I just discovered the wonderful versatility of flank steak! Love it. And I stocked up since it seems to run out at the local supermarket fairly quickly... boyfriend now has three in his freezer, waiting for me to use them.
