• portions: Makes 6 servings
• temps total: 37 minutes

Ingrédients

300g fat-free cottage cheese

Cajun seasoning (to taste)

Garlic seasoning (to taste)

Minced garlic (to taste)

140g reduced-fat cheddar cheese

32oz sirloin steak

1 cup broccoli (fresh or frozen)

50ml fat-free Fairlife milk

7 servings orzo protein rice from Barilla

Instructions

Prepare the Steak: Season the sirloin steak with Cajun seasoning, garlic seasoning, and minced garlic. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Cook the Orzo/Rice: In a pot, cook the orzo or rice according to package instructions. Add the broccoli during the last 3-4 minutes of cooking. Drain and set aside.

Make the Cheese Sauce: In a blender, combine the fat-free cottage cheese, reduced-fat cheddar, fat-free milk, and a pinch of Cajun seasoning. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Grill the Steak: Preheat your grill to medium-high. Grill the marinated steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.

Combine Orzo and Sauce: In the pot you used for the orzo/rice, add the cheese sauce and stir until well combined. Heat gently if necessary.

Add Steak: Gently fold in the grilled steak bites into the cheesy orzo mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated.

Serve and Portion: Divide the dish into 6 servings and plate them. Enjoy!
