Ingredients

1/2 cup(s) fresh parsley, fresh, leaves   
1/4 cup(s) cilantro, fresh, leaves   
1 clove(s) (medium) garlic clove(s), smashed with side of a knife, peeled   
2 Tbsp water   
1/2 Tbsp red wine vinegar

Instructions

  • Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Sprinkle beef with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; add beef to skillet and cook, flipping once, about 7 to 8 minutes for medium, or longer for desired degree of doneness. Serve with sauce.

The herb sauce is amazing and this is a healthy portion of meat. Definitely a filling meal when combined with a side of veggies.

Pretty good. Sauce is strong. I think it would be better paired with cheese and tomatoes.
