Steak and Squash


I have been making this dish since my first weight watchers round, nearly 10 years ago.

Edible Elements:


  • Lean Steak or beef tips

  • Zucchini

  • Yellow Squash

  • Onions

  • Sliced Mushrooms (optional)

  • Garlic (fresh or minced)

  • Reduced sodium Soy Sauce

  • Fat Free Italian Dressing

  • Fat Free Butter Spray

  • Fat Free Pam/Cooking Spray

  • Garlic Powder

  • Onion Powder

  • Salt

  • Pepper

Tenderize steak and marinate in 30% Soy Sauce, 70% Italian Dressing blend for at least 30 minutes. Sprinkle Garlic and Onion Powder into marinated blend as desired. Slice squash and onion into bite sizes. If you have a grill available, grill it all, but if not, you can cook this meal inside as described. The steak tips can be cooked stove top or broiled, per your preference. I alternate. For the vegetables, spray a non stick large skillet with Pam. Cook the onions first, on medium. When they begin to turn the corner to translucent, include the garlic, squash and mushrooms, and spray liberally with butter spray and Pam. As the vegetables begin to cook, add in light dashes of soy sauce and italian dressing. Season with spices, salt and pepper as desired. Do not overcook the vegetables - al dente is best.


That is it - easy and delicious.
