These steaks were delicious. I broiled them for 6 mins each side then let them rest under foil for 6 mins and they were perfect. I paired with mashed sweet potatoes with smart balance, chicken broth, salt and pepper and balsamic roasted asparagus-found on this website (which I broiled 6min, turning once instead of roasting.) Everything paired really well and will definitely make again.01/28/10

Very good flavor BUT the unexpected result was the lovely color it gave to the steaks when cooked on the George Foreman.06/26/08
