Grilled Flank Steak Recipe, with Asparagus and Onions – 4 Points

Since temperatures have been pretty high this past week, I convinced my husband to break out the grill for one last summer grilling recipe. This light and lean Grilled Flank Steak with Asparagus and Onions was a HUGE success!!

I love steak, but being a Weight Watchers member, I usually avoid this dish. So I was thrilled when I came across this flank steak recipe. It’s SO flavorful, and the asparagus and onions help to bulk up the serving, so it’s actually quite satisfying.

And with just a 4 Points per serving, this is a fabulous weight watchers steak recipe. Get those grills back out, folks!

Grilled Flank Steak Recipe, with Asparagus and Onions

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 pound raw lean flank steak
• 1 large red onion, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
• 1 bunch of fresh asparagus spears
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 2 tsp fresh oregano, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground

Directions:

1. In a shallow glass dish (or sealable food storage bag), mix vinegar, oil, oregano, garlic and pepper. Add steak; turn to coat, making sure steak is coated with vinegar mixture. Cover dish (or seal bag); marinate in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
2. Heat outdoor grill.
3. Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade.
4. Sprinkle steak with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Coat onions and asparagus with non stick cooking spray; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.

6. While steak is resting, grill onions and asparagus spears, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and tender, about 7 to 9 minutes.
7. To serve, thinly slice steak against the grain and place on a serving platter; scatter onions over top.
