I try not to eat a lot of beef on the HCG diet, but when I do, I choose lean cuts, like flank steak and beef tenderloin. I was amazed to find that I could make caramelized onions without oil. In this recipe I used flank steak, which, if cooked properly, is very tender and flavorful. If you have to have your steak well done–flank steak wouldn’t be a good choice. It’s best served medium, to an internal temperature of 140 degrees F.
My personal chef clients always ask me to make them steak. I couldn’t figure out why since steak is so easy to make yourself. Finally, I asked one client and they said, “It’s the seasoning!” My “super secret steak seasoning” Tex Joy Steak Seasoning
Tip: Make a big batch of caramelized onions. They can be frozen in a ziploc bag and used whenever you like.
