DIRECTIONS

  1. Remove the stems from the cilantro leaves and discard stems. Finely chop the cilantro and garlic, set aside. Slice the zucchini into rounds; set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, add the tomato paste, vinegar, cumin, paprika, chipotle, cilantro, garlic and only HALF of the sucralose packet. Slowly whisk in 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  3. Pat dry flank steak with paper towels and season with a pinch of each salt and pepper.  Spray a medium non-stick sauté pan with 1 coat of cooking oil and place the sauté pan over medium-high heat. -- When the pan is hot, add the flank steak and sear on each for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown. (USDA recommends cooking beef to a minimum 145°F).

  5. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium- high heat.  Slice the zucchini into rounds, season with a pinch of salt and sauté for 3 minutes or until softened and beginning to brown on the edges.
  6. Serve flank steak over zucchini topped with the pan sauce.  Enjoy!
