A surprisingly flavorful meatloaf made of three main ingredients gets its flavor from sun-dried tomatoes. It's low-carb and low-calorie.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil
- 1 medium-large onion
- 1-1/2 pounds ground sirloin
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.Drain the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes into a large nonstick skillet. Finely dice the tomatoes and set them aside.
Finely dice the onion to get 1 packed cup. Set the skillet over medium heat and add the diced onion. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and golden, about 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the sirloin, diced sun-dried tomatoes, cooked onion with all the pan juices, 1 teaspoon salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup cold water and 3 slightly crushed ice cubes and add to the sirloin. Mix thoroughly. Shape into an 8-inch x 4-1/2-inch meat loaf and place on a rimmed baking sheet or in a shallow roasting pan. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Remove the sirloin meat loaf from the oven and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Yield: 4 servings
Note: You can also shape the meat into burgers and sear them in a skillet.
