Flank Steak With “Apple” Salsa

This is a fast, easy, and delicious way to prepare steak, making it a great weeknight meal. You can grill this as well. I like to make extra and slice it thin for a salad the next day. Pairing it with an “apple” salsa makes for a refreshing meal. Here, chayote squash stands in for the apple and makes a great swap when tossed with some apple cider vinegar, apple extract, and a bit of sweetener.

Ingredients

Steak

“Apple” Salsa

  • 1 chayote squash diced fine
  • 1/4 cup bell pepper diced fine
  • 1 tablespoon shallot minced
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro minced
  • 1 teaspoon apple extract
  • 1/2-1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar start with 1/2 and add more as desired
  • couple drops stevia glycerite to taste, or preferred sweetener
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and then rub with a bit of avocado oil to prevent sticking. Lay the steak on top and season with the coconut aminos, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Be sure to season both sides.
  • Broil on high in a preheated broiler for 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from oven and allow the steaks to rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  • While the steak cooks, prepare the salsa. Combine all salsa ingredients and stir to coat everything evenly. Taste and adjust the sweetness and tang with more sweetener and vinegar, as desired. The sweetness in combination with the apple extract really helps the squash take on the apple taste. This can be made a day ahead.
  • Serve the steak with the salsa and garnish with more cilantro, if desired.
