Ingredients
  

  • Flank steak 1 to 1.5 pounds: Choose a fresh, well-marbled cut for the best tenderness and flavor.
Vegetables:
  • o 1 large cucumber crisp and refreshing
  • o 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved for juicy bursts of sweetness
  • o 1 red bell pepper diced for a slight crunch and color
  • o ½ red onion thinly sliced to add a mild sharpness
Kalamata olives (½ cup): These briny gems add an authentic Mediterranean punch.
Feta cheese (½ cup, crumbled): Creamy and tangy, feta perfectly complements the fresh veggies and steak.
Marinade & Dressing Ingredients:
  • o 3 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin recommended for rich flavor
  • o 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice for brightness
  • o 2 cloves garlic minced for depth and aroma
  • o 1 teaspoon dried oregano a classic Greek herb
  • o Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method
 

Marinate the Flank Steak
  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over it. Make sure the steak is well-coated.
  3. 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
  1. While the steak marinates, wash and chop the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, and red onion.
  2. 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
  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  2. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting any excess drip off to avoid flare-ups.
  3. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer it more cooked.
  4. 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
  1. Thinly slice the rested flank steak against the grain—this ensures each bite is tender and easy to chew.
  2. Add the sliced steak and crumbled feta cheese to the bowl with the veggies.
  3. Drizzle with a bit more olive oil and lemon juice if desired, then gently toss everything to combine.
Serve and Enjoy
  1. Serve the salad immediately for the best freshness and flavor. It works perfectly as a satisfying main course or alongside your favorite Mediterranean sides.
