Source of Recipe


South Beach Diet Phase 1






List of Ingredients



• 2 sirloin steaks(6 ozs. each)
  
• 2 med. pear-shaped tomatoes,halved lengthwise
  
• 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  
• 1 med. onion,chopped
  
• 1 clove garlic,minced or pressed
  
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil or 2 Tbsp dry basil
  
• Pinch salt
  
• Pinch freshly ground black pepper
  
• Basil sprigs(optional)
  






Instructions



1. Place the steak on a lightly greased grill 4-6 in. above a solid bed of med-hot coals. Cook,turning as needed,until evenly browned on the outside and a thermometer inserted in the center registers 145F(for med-rare). Cut to test for doneness(about 15 min.).
   
2. Meanwhile,place the tomatoes on the grill,cut sides up,and brush them lightly with 1 Tbsp of the oil. When the tomatoes are browned on the bottom(about 3 min.),turn them over and continue to cook until soft when pressed(about 3 more min.).
   
3. While the tomatoes are grilling,combine the remaining 1 Tbsp of oil,the onion,and garlic in a med. frying pan with a heatproof handle. Set the pan over the coals(or set on the stove over med-high heat). Cook,stirring often,until the onion is limp and golden(about 10 min.).Stir in the basil.
   
4. When the tomatoes are soft,stir them into the onion mixture,then set the pan aside on a cooler area of the grill(or cover and keep warm on the stove).
   
5. When the steak is done,place it on a board with a well(or on a platter). Spoon the tomato relish alongside the steak. Season with the salt and pepper and garnish with basil sprigs,if using.
   
6. To serve,cut the meat into thin slices. Combine the accumulated meat juices with the tomato relish,if desired.
