Ingredients
1 tbsp white horseradish 1/3 cup fat-free or light sour cream 1/4 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce 1 cup fat-free, no-salt-added beef broth 1 1/2 tsp Garlic & Herb Seasoning Blend 4 4-oz. boneless eye-of-round steaks, visible fat discarded 1/4 cup whole almonds 1 tbsp sliced almonds
Directions
Season both sides of the steaks evenly with 1 teaspoon of the seasoning.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the steaks for 2 minutes on each side, or until browned.
Add the broth and bring to a simmer.
Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 30 to 40 minutes, or until tender.
If needed, add water, 1/4 cup at a time, to keep the steaks from sticking.
If desired, reserve 1/2 to 2/3 cup cooking liquid to spoon over the steaks before serving.
Dry-roast the whole almonds in a medium skillet over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
Transfer to the work bowl of a food processor and let cool for 5 minutes.
Dry-roast the sliced almonds in the same skillet for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
Transfer to a small plate and set aside.
Process the whole almonds for 1 to 2 minutes or until finely ground.
Transfer to a medium bowl.
Stir in the cranberry sauce or sour cream, horseradish, and 1/2 teaspoon seasoning until well combined.
