Let the steak stand while you heat the topping. Fill out the meal
with orzo, and garnish with fresh cilantro sprigs, if desired.
Yield: 4 servings
Serving size: 3 ounces meat and about 1/3 cup topping

1 1/4 tsp ground cumin, divided
3/4 tsp salt, divided
1/8 tsp ground red pepper
1 (1-lb) flank steak, trimmed
Cooking spray
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp bottled minced garlic
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced (about 1 Tbsp)
2 cups grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Preheat broiler.

Combine 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and red pepper; sprinkle
evenly over steak. Place steak on a broiler pan coated with cooking
spray; broil 10 minutes or until desired degree of doneness, turning
once. Cut steak diagonally across grain into thin slices.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and
jalapeno to pan; cook 1 minute. Add remaining 1/4 teaspoon cumin,
remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and tomatoes to pan; cook 3 minutes or
until tomatoes begin to soften. Remove from heat; stir in cilantro.
Serve tomato topping with steak.
