Grilled Strip Steaks with Olive – Oregano Relish Recipe

  • 1/3 cup drained Kalamata or other brine-cured black olives
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano leaves
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 (1/2 pound) 3/4-inch-thick boneless beef loin (strip) or rib-eye steaks
  1. Prepare grill.
  2. Pit olives and coarsely chop. In a bowl stir together olives, onion, oregano, oil, pepper, and salt to taste. Pat steaks dry and season with salt and pepper. Grill steaks on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals about 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. (Alternatively, grill steaks in a hot oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.) Serve steaks topped with relish.
