Spice-Rubbed Flank Steak

Lean flank steak is not as flavorful as fattier cuts of meat so we covered it in a sweet and savory spice rub, making it delicious but still low in fat and calories.

Oven Barbecued Brisket

From EatingWell

A relatively inexpensive cut of meat, a brisket needs to tenderize overnight before it's baked. Here we use a full-flavored, smoky barbecue dry rub, then it's slowly baked and basted. Brisket cuts are notoriously fatty, but the flat "first-cut" section is a far better choice for healthy eating than the fattier "point cut." It may be worth calling ahead to make sure your supermarket or butcher has one on hand.
