BEEF SCALLOPINI WITH LEMON, GARLIC AND PINE NUTS

Category: Beef

2 tbsp flour
1/8 tsp salt and pepper, or to taste
1 lb lean beef four 4 oz scaloppini cuts
Olive oil cooking spray
2 tsp light butter
1 tbsp pine nuts, chopped
1 medium garlic clove, minced
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 tbsp parsley, fresh, chopped

Mix together flour, salt and pepper on a large plate. Dredge beef in flour, coating both sides and patting off any excess.

Add some olive oil to a skillet; set over high heat. Saute beef on both sides until nicely browned and firm, about 2 minutes per side (saute in batches, if necessary, recoating the pan with cooking spray between each batch); remove and set aside.

Add butter, pine nuts and garlic to pan and toss over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Whisk in lemon juice and broth; bring to a simmer. Return beef to pan, along with any accumulated juices, just long enough to reheat, about 2 to 3 minutes. Place beef on dinner plates, top each with 1/4 of sauce, sprinkle with parsley and serve.
