Steak with Citrus Salsa
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. + marinating Grill: 15 min.
YIELD: 4-6 servings.
A lime juice marinade really perks up these grilled steaks, and the snappy, light citrus salsa is a super change from the usual heavy steak sauce. I brighten up winter meals by broiling the meat and serving it this way. —Kathleen Smith, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
