Grilled Sirloin Salad

Love summer. Love BBQ. Love salad. Yep, its time for Grilled Sirloin Salad.

This one is for those of us that have healthy appetites, but don't want to load up on empty carbohydrates and calories. However, if you have a husband that still craves that stuff, then serve some crusty french bread and beer on the side.

At less than 300 calories per serving, you CAN have your steak and your waistline too!

Ingredients:

1 pound lean boneless sirloin steak (or substitute flank steak)
1 T. chili powder
2 t. oregano
1 t. thyme
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 t. onion powder
1/2 t. garlic powder
8 c. salad greens (pick up pre-mixed greens, or make your own)
1 c. sliced red bell pepper
1 c. sliced red onion
1 T. chopped fresh parsley
1 T. red wine vinegar
1 1/2 t. olive oil
1 t. fresh lemon juice
1 can (1 1/2 c.) whole kernel corn (or substitute with fresh corn kernels)

Directions:

Rub steak with the next 7 ingredients above, coating both sides. Grill over medium heat approximately 5 minutes on each side, or until desired temperature. If you don't want to fire up the grill, then bake at 400 degrees about 10-12 minutes, turning once.

Slice the steak across the grain, into 1/2" thickness.

Combine salad greens and all remaining ingredients in a large salad/serving bowl. Add steak.

Serves 4 people (about 3 c. salad with 3 oz. steak).
