"The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook." -Julia Child

The refrigerator light goes on...

This is a super simple and a flavorful steak dinner. If you can't find hanger steak, other great choices include sirloin, flank steak or filet. I used a beautiful fresh, yellow heirloom tomato for my salsa, giving the salsa a softer, sweeter flavor.
