Sirloin Steak Oreganato

This is another recipe from my Good Housekeeping Step by Step Cookbook.  I can remember when I was a kid, there was a Greek family that lived down the street from us.  They used to grill steaks with lemon.  That has been a favorite flavor combination for a long time.  The recipe calls for the steaks to be broiled but I bet this would be really good grilled too.  I wonder if we'll ever get the grill out of the crawl space under the house.  The door to the crawl space is currently behind almost 2 feet of snow.

1 medium lemon
2 garlic cloved, minced
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
1 boneless beef top sirloin steak, 1 1/4 inches thick; about 1 1/2lbs.

Preheat broiler.  Grate peel and squeeze juice from the lemon.  In a 12x8 baking dish or deep ceramic platter, mix lemon peel, lemon juice, garlic, oil, salt, oregano, and pepper.  Add steak, turning to coat both sides.

Place steak on rack in broiling pan. Place pan in broiler at closest position to heat source.  Broil steak, turning once and brushing with any remaining marinade after turning, 12 to 15 minutes for medium rare, or until desired doneness.

Transfer to platter.  Let stand 10 minutes; keep warm. To serve, thinly slice steak.  Spoon any juices from the broiler pan over slices.
