Mediterranean Strip Steaks
Ingredients
  • 2
    teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1
    teaspoon packed brown sugar
  • 2
    tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4
    top loin (strip) steaks, cut 1 inch thick (about 12 oz. each)
  • 2
    lemons, halved
  • 1
    avocado, seeded, peeled, and sliced
  • 4
    ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • Feta cheese wedges (optional)
  • Fresh oregano
  • 1
    teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel
Directions

1. For rub, stir together paprika, sugar, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Coat steaks with 1 Tbsp. oil; rub mixture on both sides. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.

2. For charcoal grill, arrange medium-hot coals on one side of grill. Place steaks on rack directly over coals. Cover and lightly sear on both sides, 5 to 6 minutes. Move to unheated side of grill. Cover and grill 4 to 5 minutes more for medium rare (145 degrees F). Remove; let stand 5 minutes. Grill lemon halves, cut side down, directly over coals, 2 minutes. (For gas grill, preheat grill. Adjust heat for indirect cooking. Grill as above.)

3. Serve with lemons, avocado, and feta. Sprinkle oregano and lemon peel; drizzle remaining oil. Serves 8.

This is one of the best steak recipes ever. I add a bit more lemon zest to the steaks, but it is definitely a crowd pleaser and excellent for company!
