This steak fits right into your schedule—it can marinate for as little as 30 minutes or as long as 8 hours—and it is equally good whether cooked on the stovetop, grilled, or broiled. Rice and Vegetable Pilaf (page 252) goes well with it.

Preparation
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together the topping ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Step 3
Drain the beef, discarding the marinade.
Step 4
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.
