Thai Grilled Beef with String Beans     

Recipe from The South Beach Diet Quick and Easy Cookbook by Dr. Agatston

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time:: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lbs flank steak
• 2 t extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 c fresh lime juice
• 1 T Asian fish sauce (I don’t add this. I don’t like the flavor. But you might!)
• 1/4 t chili paste (Anything to give it a bit of heat would do.)
• 1 t granular sugar substitute (regular sugar would work fine too.)
• 1 c coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/2 c thinly sliced scallions
• 1 lb green beans, ends trimmed
• salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Heat grill pan to high. Season steak on both sides with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill approx. 4 minutes per side. Remove from heat and allow steak to sit for 5 minutes.
2. Whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, chili paste, sugar substitute, cilantro and scallions in a large bowl.
3. Heat a saucepan of salted water until boiling. Add the green beans and cook until crisp tender, about 3 minutes and drain.
4. Thinly slice the meat across the grain. Toss with the lime juice mixture. Add the beans and toss together.
5. Serve warm.
