Salt & Pepper Sirloin

From EatingWell: Summer 2004, The EatingWell Diabetes Cookbook (2005)

A simple grilled steak topped with tangy tomatillo salsa is a favorite of EatingWell's Food Editor, Jim Romanoff. Instead of serving a slab of steak, he likes to slice it and fan it on the plates. Not only is it more attractive this way, it is easier to control portion sizes.
