Mexican Grilled Steak

Queen Dana's Note:

I got this recipe out of a small low calorie cookbook which I no longer have and don't remember the name of. This is a pretty simple recipe, that's low in calories and has good flavor. If you want you can add red pepper flakes or hot sauce to make this a spicy dish because otherwise it is not.
