Sirloin with Tomato, Olive, and Feta Topping

This steak fits right into your schedule—it can marinate for as little as 30 minutes or as long as 8 hours—and it is equally good whether cooked on the stovetop, grilled, or broiled. Rice and Vegetable Pilaf (page 252) goes well with it.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4; 3 ounces beef and 1/2 cup topping per serving

Ingredients

Sirloin

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 pound boneless top sirloin steak, all visible fat discarded, cut into 4 pieces

Topping

2 cups grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons chopped kalamata olives
2 tablespoons crumbled fat-free feta cheese
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a large shallow glass dish, stir together the lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and pepper. Add the beef, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 8 hours, turning occasionally.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together the topping ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

    Step 3

    Drain the beef, discarding the marinade.

    Step 4

    Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or to the desired doneness. (If you prefer, grill the beef on medium high or broil it 5 to 6 inches from the heat as directed.) Serve the beef with the topping.
