White Wine-Marinated Steak





The three-ingredient marinade for these steaks also serves as the secret to the sauce. Serve with mashed potatoes and green beans.







Other Time: 40 minutes minutes

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 3 ounces steak and 1 tablespoon sauce)





3 tablespoons white wine

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 pound chuck eye steaks, trimmed

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Cooking spray

1 large shallot, sliced

1/4 cup fat-free, lower-sodium beef broth



1. Combine the first 3 ingredients in a shallow dish. Add steaks, and let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. Remove steaks from marinade; reserve marinade. Sprinkle steaks evenly with salt and pepper.

Growing and learning everyday.

I have been learning so much over the past few months. Boy its funny I keep thinking back to when I was little and how my mom was always so tiered. I always said that won't be me I will do this and I will do that. Well its official after 6 months I'm am not sleepy I am down right exhausted, I'm up until 11pm or 12am and then sleep until about 5:30 when my baby boy wakes me up :). Just thinking about him makes me smile! Its funny I wish could have gotten up like that a few years ago. I would be one skinny bitch LOL.  But anyway I have been thinking I need some structure, change I need to be better organized. So I decided today to start I need to mange my time better and declutter my life. I need put family 1st, and my job 2nd. I need to stop stressing the small stuff.
