Pepper Steak and Watercress Sandwiches


Serves 4
Prep time: 1 minute (seriously), Cooking Time: 6-8 minutes (steak fries add 20 minutes)

2 (1/4-pound) filet mignon steaks
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1/4 cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
4 whole grain rolls, split and toasted
1 cup watercress sprigs*

*Note: if you don't want to buy watercress, you can substitute any other lettuce. I did buy it, and I've been using the leftovers (because there are a lot) to add to sandwiches the rest of the week.

1. Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper. Spray large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. Add steaks and cook until medium, 3-4 minutes on each side. Transfer to cutting board and let stand 3 minutes. Slice steaks into 3/4-inch slices. (Note: you could obviously cook these on the grill too.)

2. Meanwhile, stir together yogurt and horseradish in small bowl.

3. Spread cut sides of rolls evenly with yogurt mixture. Fill rolls evenly with steak and watercress.

Served with steak fries.

Results: Delicious and soooooo easy to make! The yogurt spread was yummy too. I added chopped chives to it because I had some that weren't going to last much longer. I will say this is not nearly enough meat for four sandwiches though! I bought two (4-oz) filets and used them for two sandwiches (the boys didn't eat these.) So, these are great for dinner guests, but make sure to buy one filet per person. My only complaint about an otherwise perfect recipe!
