Roasted garlic's delicate flavor (and health-boosting properties!)
shine in this dish.
Serves: 4
Serving Size: 3 oz cooked steak and 2 Tbsp sauce

4 boneless eye-of-round steaks (4 ounces each), all visible fat discarded
1 tsp salt-free garlic and herb seasoning blend
Vegetable oil spray
1 cup fat-free, no-salt-added beef broth
1/4 cup whole almonds
1 Tbsp sliced almonds
1/4 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce OR 1/3 cup fat-free sour cream
1 Tbsp prepared white horseradish
1/2 tsp salt-free garlic and herb seasoning blend

Season both sides of the steaks evenly with 1 teaspoon garlic and
herb seasoning blend. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high
heat. Cook the steaks for 2 minutes on each side, or until browned.
Add the broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and simmer,
covered, for 30 to 40 minutes, or until tender. If needed, add water
1/4 cup at a time to keep the steaks from sticking. If desired, reserve
1/2 to 2/3 cup cooking liquid to spoon over the steaks before serving.

Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, dry-roast the whole almonds over
medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring
occasionally. Transfer to the work bowl of a food processor and
let cool for 5 minutes. In the same skillet, dry-roast the sliced
almonds for 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring
occasionally. Transfer to a small plate and set aside.

Process the whole almonds for 1 to 2 minutes, or until finely
ground. Transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in the cranberry sauce
or sour cream, horseradish, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic and herb
seasoning blend until well combined.

To serve, spoon the reserved pan liquid over each steak. Top
each with about 2 tablespoons sauce. Garnish with the almond slices.

Cook's Tip - -
Perfect for holiday meals, these eye-of-round steaks are seasoned
with a salt-free blend of garlic and herbs, braised until tender,
and topped with an easy-mix sauce enhanced with toasted almonds.
