Ingredients

• 2 pieces (4-6 oz each) Lean beef steak (sirloin or tenderloin, trimmed of fat)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 spray (as needed) Olive oil spray
• 0.75 cups Low sodium beef stock
• 0.25 cups Fat-free Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Green peppercorns (drained, if canned)
• 1 small Shallot (finely minced)
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the steaks with salt and freshly ground black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly spray with olive oil. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or cook to your preferred doneness. Remove steaks from the pan, cover with foil, and let rest.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the minced shallot. Cook for about 2 minutes until softened, stirring often.

Step 4

Deglaze the pan by adding the low sodium beef stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

Add the green peppercorns, Dijon mustard, and a tablespoon of water. Stir well and let the mixture reduce slightly, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Lower the heat and stir in the fat-free Greek yogurt. Mix until the sauce is smooth and heated through, but do not let it boil as the yogurt may curdle.

Step 7

Plate the steaks and spoon the peppercorn sauce generously over each piece. Serve immediately with your favorite low-fat side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or roasted sweet potatoes.
