As a person who loves food, but also tries to maintain a healthy weight and eat nutritiously, I am on a constant search for healthy, low-calorie recipes that do not sacrifice flavor, texture or satiety. This blog is a compilation of such recipes that are tried and true: all have great flavor and texture, are low-calorie, and leave me feeling satisfied.

Steak with Sauteed Fennel and Olives



Copied from Real Simple's website

Ingredients:
-3 tablespoons olive oil
-2 1-inch-thick strip steaks (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
-kosher salt and black pepper
-2 medium bulbs fennel, thinly sliced, plus 1 tablespoon fronds
-1/2 cup pitted black olives (preferably oil cured)
-1 jalapeno (preferably red), seeded and thinly sliced

Directions:
1) Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steaks with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook to the desired doneness, 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
2) Wipe out the skillet and heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the fennel and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly browned and just tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
3) Stir in the olives and jalapeño and cook for 1 minute. Sprinkle with the fennel fronds and serve with the sliced steak.
