Topping Essentials Three Olive Steak Topping Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a dry 12-inch heavy skillet (not nonstick) over medium-high heat until hot. Pat steak dry and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, then sear, without turning, 5 minutes (reduce heat if necessary to prevent scorching). Turn steak over and cook 5 to 6 minutes more for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes.
• Wipe out skillet, then cook garlic with red-pepper flakes in oil over medium heat, stirring, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add olives and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in parsley just before serving.
• Slice steak and serve with olive sauce.

Steps:

• In a large shallow glass dish, stir together the lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and pepper. Add the beef, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 8 hours, turning occasionally.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together the topping ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Drain the beef, discarding the marinade.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or to the desired doneness. (If you prefer, grill the beef on medium high or broil it 5 to 6 inches from the heat as directed.) Serve the beef with the topping.
