Ingredients

2 pounds Yukon gold or red bliss potatoes, cut into bite-size pieces
1 1/2 tsp olive oil, divided
2 tbsp minced fresh rosemary, or 1 tbsp dried
1 pound flank steak
12 cups romaine hearts, chopped
12 plum tomatoes, diced
3 tsp Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  Dressing
1 8-ounce container nonfat plain yogurt
1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 anchovies, or 1 1/2 tsp anchovy paste
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 Cooking spray
  Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Combine potatoes, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and rosemary in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper; toss to combine. Scatter on baking sheet. Roast for 50-60 minutes or until potatoes are golden.

Season the steak on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak in oil for 8 minutes on each side, or until cooked to desired doneness.

Transfer the steak to a cutting board. Add 1/4 cup of water to a skillet and stir over low heat for 1 1/2 minutes, scraping up any brown bits that have stuck to bottom of the pan. Set aside. Cut the steak on a diagonal into thin slices. Keep warm.

Combine the dressing ingredients in a food processor and pulse until smooth. Add skillet juices and pulse to combine. Place romaine in a large salad bowl. Add tomatoes, potatoes, and dressing; toss to combine. Portion the salad among 6 large plates. Top with an equal amount of steak and Parmesan cheese.

Nutrition Notes: Tomatoes and romaine are great sources of vitamin A, vitamin C, and folate. Steak provides iron and immunity-boosting zinc. Potatoes add lots of digestion-friendly fiber and compounds in the garlic help fight viruses and lower cholesterol.
