Steak with Zesty Dipping Sauce

Let's just pause for a moment and consider, STEAK. It has been far too long since we have featured a beefy-meaty carnivorous recipe on the blog. This week, we will remedy that. You're welcome. 

Skirt, or Flank Steak is not the lowest calorie cut of  beef, but it packs a lot of flavor. The key with choosing a fattier piece of beef, sometimes, is that less is more. Because it has more flavor, you should choose to eat less and add in lots of vitamin rich and nutrient heavy vegetables to your dinner. All the while enjoying the more flavorful, fattier cut of beef.  Humans do need fat after all, to function correctly.  So, instead of quitting eating your favorite things altogether, try to eat the leaner cuts more often, and making a treat out of the fattier ones, and eating a smaller portion when you do. Because the flavor is richer, a smaller amount should satisfy as much as a larger portion of less flavorful meat. 

This week's recipe is quick + easy with a delicious yogurt dipping sauce (also packed with protein) for those delicious bites of steak.
