Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ribeye steaks (1-inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
Instructions
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and pat them dry with paper towels. Let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes while preparing the marinade.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Generously rub the marinade on both sides of the steaks until evenly coated. Set aside for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to infuse.
Meanwhile, prepare the Mediterranean topping by combining the cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and parsley in a separate bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the steaks on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reads 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest on a plate, loosely covered with aluminum foil, for 5 minutes.
Serve the steaks warm, topped with the prepared Mediterranean mixture. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese, if desired.
