Mrs. Dash® Steak Grilling Blend does duty as a rub on beef flank steak that’s grilled and stuffed into whole wheat pita pockets. To keep the meat tender, let it rest and slice thinly against the grain.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 Tbsp. (22.5mL) Mrs. Dash® Steak Grilling Blend™
• 1 lb (454g) beef flank steak
• 2 pita bread, whole wheat, cut in half
• 1/2 medium tomato, cut into thick slices
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup (180mL) fat free yogurt
• 1/4 cup (60mL) cucumber, peeled and chopped
• 2 tsp (5mL) fresh mint, finely chopped

Directions:

1. Make the sauce by combining yogurt, cucumber and mint, set aside.
2. Coat the flank steak with Mrs. Dash® Steak Grilling Blend™, pressing seasoning on steak with back of spoon.
3. Preheat barbeque to medium high heat.
4. Grill steak 5 to 6 minutes on each side for rare and 7 to 8 minutes for medium, do not overcook.
5. Remove steak from grill and allow to rest 2 to 3 minutes.
6. Slice steak as thin as possible against the grain.
7. Open pita pocket and fill with steak, tomatoes, onions, lettuce and drizzle with sauce.
8. Serve warm or at room temperature.
9. Note: This inexpensive cut of beef has a broad surface and lends itself well to grilling using a rub.
10. Because you slice flank steak against the grain, you cut through its fibers and this helps to make the steak tender.
