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

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the marinade. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

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).

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Remove the steaks from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the leftover marinade.

Step 5

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).

Step 6

Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Enjoy your Greek Beef Steak with a drizzle of extra olive oil or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for added flavor!
