The Fourth Of July will be even more special with this recipe. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes approximately 40 minutes.
Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan to high. Pulse the olives, shallot, garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes, 2 tablespoons olive oil and the juice of 1/2 lemon in a food processor; season with salt and pepper.
Pierce the steak all over with a fork and season with salt and pepper. Rub 1 heaping tablespoon olive mixture all over the steak, then set aside, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, toss the remaining olive mixture with the tomatoes, parsley, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the juice of the remaining 1/2 lemon in a small bowl.
Grill the steak until browned on one side, about 7 minutes. Flip and cook about 7 more minutes for medium rare.
Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.
Cut in half; reserve one half for steak sandwiches (at right). Thinly slice the remaining steak against the grain and top with the olive-tomato tapenade.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir
Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir are my top picks for Steak. After all, beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner steaks go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier steaks can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon. One wine you could try is Goldschmidt Vineyard Alexander Valley Chelsea Merlot. It has 4.8 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 20 dollars.

Goldschmidt Vineyard Alexander Valley Chelsea Merlot
Beautiful red raspberry, black cherry, and spice aromas. Full and round with plum, red currant, blackberry, and bay leaf flavors. The soft tannins give this wine a velvety smoothness and the chocolatey finish just goes on and on.
