a different solution

sometimes benson doesnt give us the protien we need. i know personally, i am not a huge salad fan, so if i do not get a salad with chicken i dont get a meal with meat in it that is still healthy. of course i could get a burrito with chicken or steak, a turkey sandwich, chicken nuggets, chicken tenders, or a bronco burger but that can get old very fast. after practice i usually get a turkey sandwich and so i do not want that again for dinner! plus, all the other options i mentioned can be very high in carbs and/or high in fat! also, going out to eat can get expensive, especially if you want a well cooked steak. so a good solution to that is to walk across the street to safeway and grab a steak to barbeque yourself!
there are many ways you can barbeque and season a steak(along with other meats) but i found one that sounds simple and delishhh!
P.S: now, i was born in texas so a good barbeque steak always sounds good to me! if your not big into red meat, you can always go for a chicken dinner! chicken is a great, if not better/healthier, substitute for steak. you can put your chicken into salads like mentioned earlier, make a chicken sandwich, do a combo of chicken with veggies and potatoes, or just season it up and have it alone! one thing my mom makes that is simple and quick is: corn tortillas, cheddar cheese, and rotisserie chicken. you put some butter on the tortilla and put in on the stove. let it fry for a second then add the cheese and chickem. fold it in half and flip till both sides turn a golden brownish color and the cheese is melted!

here is the ingredients for the steak dinner!
ingredients
*1 1-pund new york strip steak(about 1-inch thick)
*kosher salt and freshly grounded pepper
