beef steak

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

💰Cheaper: pork loin

Chicken is lower in fat, while pork is often less expensive.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a high smoke point and is still healthy.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while providing creaminess.

hot sauce

🥗Healthier: salsa

💰Cheaper: chili flakes

Salsa offers flavor without added calories.

Start with minute steaks that are already sliced very thinly.

Season one side of the steak with salt and black pepper.

Place the seasoned side on a hot pan and cook for a couple of minutes until it gets some color.

Season the other side of the steak with salt and black pepper.

Cook the steak to medium-rare and then start plating.

Add a little more canola oil to the pan with the leftover flavor.

Add sliced onion to the pan and sauté quickly to pick up the flavor.

Add sliced roma tomatoes to the pan and cook slightly, keeping them whole.

Season the onions and tomatoes with salt and pepper.

Turn off the stove and add the sautéed onions first, then place the tomatoes on top.

Garnish with parsley before serving.
