As you know, I am on a never-ending hunt to not have to eat the same food everyday! I am a huge broccoli lover, but it gets old eating the same broccoli over and over again. These broccoli "tater tots" are cheesy deliciousness in super-cute form!

The marinated steak is tender and with a sweet potato, this whole meal comes out to 550 calories.

 

Here's what you'll need:

4 ounce sirloin petite steaks

Sweet Potatoes

1 Head of Broccoli

1/3 c. Panko Bread Crumbs

2 oz. Cheddar Cheese

1/4 Onion, Chopped

1 tsp. Garlic Powder

1 tsp. Italian Seasoning

1 Egg

Marinade (recipe below)

 

The first thing that you need to do for this meal is prep your marinade. I let my steaks marinate for 24 hours, so I did this the day before. Go for at least 30 minutes, minimum.

Mix together:

1/2 c. low-sodium soy sauce

2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

 2 tbsp. lemon juice

 2 tbsp. olive oil

 2 cloves garlic, minced

 2 tbsp. minced onion

 1 tsp. black pepper

 

Add your steaks to a tupperware container or freezer bag and add the marinate.

 

Next, Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and then prep your broccoli.

You can chop your broccoli into small pieces, but I used a cheese grater on the large part to make pieces that were small but not TOO small. Then put in a microwave-safe dish, cover, and microwave for 60 seconds.

Add broccoli to a large mixing bowl, then add bread crumbs, cheese, onion, and egg.

Mix together.

Take about 1 tbsp. of the mixture into your hands and roll it into a ball, then use your fingers to roll it out slightly into a "log" shape so that it looks like a tater tot. Flatten out the ends and place on a greased baking sheet.

Bake for 25 minutes, turning half-way through to prevent burning on either side.

 

Cook your steak to your liking, I put ours on the George Foreman for about 8 minutes for medium-rare.

And cook your potato. We got the ones that can be put in the microwave, and I did time and a half since we had two.

If you are baking, pierce with a fork and bake for 45-60 minutes in the oven.. so these should go in before your broccoli tots.

 

 

Enjoy!
