STEAK SLICE WITH LEMON AND THYME
This recipe, or rather the method, was suggested to me by my agent Ed Victor, and so is known familiarly as Ed's Tender Rump. The method is this: instead of marinading the meat before cooking, you marinade it after -- and it really does keep it extraordinarily tender. Please feel free to play around with the herbs; I think Ed himself uses oregano rather than the thyme I love. I love this with broccoletti or those leggy tenderstem broccoli. A couple of packets, lightly cooked and then drained and placed in the marinade after the beef's out and sliced, is the most heavenly accompaniment. And I can't tell you how good both steak and broccoli are cold later.

Steps:
- Cut away the fat from around the edge of the steak while you heat a griddle or pan.
- Brush the steak with oil to prevent it sticking to the griddle or pan, and then cook for 3 minutes a side plus 1 minute each side turned again (this gives you pretty griddle marks) for desirably rare meat; the lemon in the post-hoc marinade 'cooks' it a little more.
- While the steak is cooking, place the thyme leaves, garlic, oil, lemon zest, juice, salt and pepper in a wide shallow dish.
- Once the steak is cooked, place it in the dish of marinade for 4 minutes a side, before removing it to a board and slicing thinly on the diagonal.

Tips:
- Choose the right steak: For this recipe, you'll want to use a steak that is tender and flavorful. Some good options include ribeye, strip loin, or tenderloin.
- Slice the steak thinly: This will help the steak cook quickly and evenly.
- Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, thyme, and garlic will help to tenderize it and add flavor.
- Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the steak and keep it juicy on the inside.
- Don't overcook the steak: Steak is best when it is cooked to medium-rare or medium. Overcooking will make it tough and dry.
- Serve the steak immediately: Steak is best served hot off the grill. You can garnish it with lemon wedges, thyme sprigs, or a drizzle of olive oil.

This steak slice with lemon and thyme is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The steak is tender and flavorful, and the lemon and thyme add a bright and refreshing flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
