Instructions

Marinate the Steak

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of the oil with the garlic, oregano, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Place the steak in a large plastic baggie, or in a small baking dish. Pour the marinade over the steak and turn the meat until it is fully coated. Seal and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.

Marinate the Cheese and Prepping the Salad

  • Place the cheese into a large bowl. Mix in the cheese marinade ingredients and chill in the fridge until ready to finish assembling the salad.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the parsley, tomatoes, cucumbers, capers, olives, and red onion. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.

Cook the Steak

  • Prepare a medium-high hot grill.
  • Remove the steaks from the marinade and grill for approx. 5 minutes per side, or until an internal temperature of 145°F (medium) is reached. Place on a cutting board and loosely tent with a piece of foil for about 10 minutes. Cutting with the grain, slice the steak into two or three pieces about 3 inches in length. Turn the pieces 90° and cut against the grain into bite-sized strips.

Assemble the Salad

  • Remove the large bowl with the marinated cheese from the refrigerator. Mix in the cucumber salad and the chopped romaine.
  • Transfer the salad to a large serving platter and use a spatula to place the sliced steak on top. Serve at once.
