Ingredients
Method
Marinate the Flank Steak
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over it. Make sure the steak is well-coated.
- Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to deeply penetrate the meat. If you have more time, marinating up to 2 hours will make it even more tender and flavorful.
Prepare the Veggies
- While the steak marinates, wash and chop the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, and red onion.
- Toss these fresh veggies together with Kalamata olives in a large mixing bowl. This colorful mix will add crispness and freshness to your salad.
Grill the Steak
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Remove the steak from the marinade, letting any excess drip off to avoid flare-ups.
- Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer it more cooked.
- Once done, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Resting helps the juices redistribute, keeping the meat tender and juicy.
Slice and Assemble
- Thinly slice the rested flank steak against the grain—this ensures each bite is tender and easy to chew.
- Add the sliced steak and crumbled feta cheese to the bowl with the veggies.
- Drizzle with a bit more olive oil and lemon juice if desired, then gently toss everything to combine.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the salad immediately for the best freshness and flavor. It works perfectly as a satisfying main course or alongside your favorite Mediterranean sides.
