Beef with Cucumber Raita

A quick ethnic recipe as well as healthy. If you've never had anything like this, it's worth trying.

Grocery List:
1 8 oz. carton plain fat-free or low-fat yogurt
1/4 c. coarsely shredded unpeeled cucumber
1 tablespoon chopped red onion
1 tablespoon snipped fresh mint, chopped
1/4 teaspoon sugar
salt and pepper
1 pound boneless beef sirloin steak, cut 1 inch thick
1/2 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning

Directions:
Pre-heat the broiler. In a small bowl, combine yogurt, cucumber, onion, snipped mint and sugar. Salt and pepper to taste.

Trim the fat from the meat. Sprinkle meat with lemon pepper seasoning. Broil meat about 4 inches from heat for 15-22 minutes depending on your desired doneness. Be sure to turn meat half way through cooking.

When done, cut steak across the grain, serve with raita.

Notes:
I typically use the left over cucumber used to make the raita to make a cucumber salad. This makes for a healthy light meal.
