Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pcs (8 oz each) beef sirloin steaks
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 pcs garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp thyme leaves
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.25 cup kalamata olives, sliced
- 0.5 cup cucumber slices
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Instructions
Begin by preparing the marinade. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Place the beef sirloin steaks in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, lightly grease the grill with a drizzle of olive oil or cooking spray.
Remove the steaks from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the leftover marinade.
Place the steaks on the grill, cooking for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the time to your preferred doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy (135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, 160°F for well-done).
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
To plate, sprinkle the steaks with freshly chopped parsley, crumbled feta cheese, and sliced kalamata olives. Serve alongside cucumber slices and cherry tomatoes for a refreshing and vibrant side.
Enjoy your Greek Beef Steak with a drizzle of extra olive oil or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for added flavor!
