00:00 Hi, I'm Holly, food editor at MyRecipes.com.

00:03 Dinner tonight will show you how to make

00:05 a healthy and delicious supper in less than 45 minutes.

00:08 (upbeat music)

00:11 It may seem hard to believe, but you can enjoy steak

00:19 for right around 200 calories.

00:21 The sweet and nutty marinade gives the steak

00:24 an amazing flavor.

00:25 I want to start by making my marinade.

00:27 So I have some green onions,

00:30 some light miso paste,

00:32 and miso adds protein and vitamins to the marinade.

00:35 Some rice vinegar,

00:38 honey,

00:38 soy sauce,

00:42 Dijon mustard,

00:43 and dark sesame oil.

00:45 I like marinating in a zip-top bag

00:47 because it makes for easy cleanup.

00:50 Now that all of my ingredients are combined,

00:54 I'll add my filets to the marinade.

00:56 This marinade also works well with flank steak.

00:59 I'll let the filets marinate for around 20 minutes

01:01 at room temperature.

01:03 That gives me plenty of time to make my sides.

01:06 It's been about 20 minutes,

01:10 so I'll cook my steak for about five minutes

01:12 on each side in a grill pan,

01:14 or you can go outdoors and cook it on the grill.

01:17 (sizzling)

01:20 And you want your grill pan hot so you hear that sear.

01:23 That way you know you're locking in all of the juices.

01:27 Once these are done, it'll be time to eat.

01:34 This Asian-inspired filet makes a light and fresh meal.

01:40 And best of all, it's low in calories.

01:42 Serve with a glass of red wine and a simple salad,

01:45 and enjoy for your dinner tonight.
