This is a quick and healthy one-dish meal with plenty of protein, healthy monosaturated fat, fiber, and good clean carbs. The Rosemary in the beef adds a nice dimension, but has the added benefit of neutralizing HCAs (cancer-causing substances) that form when meat is cooked at high temperatures.

- 2 8-oz Tenderloin Filets (or other lean steak)
