Flank Steak with Peach Salsa

 

Flank Steak with Fruit Salsa. Low carb and weight loss surgery friendly!

Don’t let the long list of ingredients deter you from making this meal (ahem, happens to me all the time). The list may look long, and it does take more chopping time on the front end, BUT this is a great meal for entertaining and is well worth the extra minutes! Once the salsa is put together, the rest is short and sweet (in more ways than one)!

If you are a weight-loss surgery patient and still looking to lose weight (not yet at your goal weight) you may want to cut one of the carbohydrate containing ingredients from this recipe. Skip either the beans, the watermelon or the peaches instead of using all three or prepare the recipe as listed below but keep you portion of those items small and focus on the steak.

  1. You mention watermelon, but I don’t see it in the ingredients. How much would I add? Sounds delish!

  2. Oh good catch! Sometimes I do put watermelon but I didn’t list it on the recipe! It’s about 1/2 cup and added with the peaches.
