Pretty enough for company. Our guests loved this. We had some toppings left over, and discovered it's tasty on grilled chicken as well. Yum! Prep time includes marinading.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 flank steak (about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds)
1/3 cup pitted kalamata olive
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup red wine
1/4 cup pitted kalamata olive, chopped
1/3 cup white onion, 1/4 inch diced
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped Italian parsley (we use cilantro instead)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt
pepper
1/3 cup drained crumbled feta cheese, about

Steps:

  • Trim steak of any outer pieces of fat or silver skin.
  • Place the steak in a large food grade, zip top plastic bag.
  • In a food processor or blender, combine the marinade ingredients and process to a puree.
  • Pour marinade into the plastic bag, press out any air, seal, and move meat around in the bag to coat.
  • Marinade in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour or preferably overnight, turning the bag a few times.
  • Heat coals to hot or medium hot.
  • Remove steak from marinade and drain well.
  • Discard marinade.
  • While coals are heating, prepare the topping.
  • Mix olives, onion, parsley, garlic and oil and set aside.
  • Have salt, pepper and feta ready.
  • Sprinkle steak with salt and pepper.
  • Grill meat about 4 minutes per side for rare, or cook to desired doneness.
  • Length of grilling time per side will vary depending on heat of grill and thickness of meat.
  • Flank steak will be most tender when grilled to rare or medium rare.
  • Let steak sit about 5 minutes before serving, allowing juices to settle.
  • Slice thinly at an angle across the grain.
  • Keeping the slices together, transfer to a clean, warm platter.
  • Spoon any juices onto meat.
  • Stir up reserved topping mixture and pour onto the slices.
  • Scatter with feta.

I served this dish with a side of roasted vegetables and it was a perfect meal. The steak was juicy and flavorful, the vegetables were crispy and tender, and the feta cheese added a nice creamy touch.

The feta cheese added a nice creamy texture to the dish. It also helped to balance out the saltiness of the olives.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to use a thicker cut of steak. I find that a thicker steak cooks more evenly and stays juicier.

I'm not a big fan of feta cheese, so I omitted it from the recipe. The steak was still very tasty.

I didn't have any kalamata olives, so I used black olives instead. It still turned out great!
