Made this one last night -- we had it at our cooking club a few years ago and I remembered it being really good, so when I bought some sirloin I decided to make it. Who knew it was so healthy too?
I didn't bother with the dipping sauce -- I think they're good enough without it and it just adds calories. I also cooked under my broiler instead of on a grill -- ended up doing 3 minutes one side, then flipping and doing 2 minutes on the other side. Yum!

The nutritional info comes from the magazine. I calculated it in a calorie counter though and came out with different numbers, so who knows?
