Greek-Style Steaks

I made this recipe for the first time tonight. I love it! Curtis said the meal was the best I've ever made.

1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
2 beef steaks (1 1/2" thick) - rib-eye or petite sirloin
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp crumbled feta or blue cheese
1 Tbsp sliced ripe olives

In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients; rub onto both sides of steaks. In a large skillet, cook steaks in oil, turning halfway through. I seared mine in the skillet for 5 minutes on each side and then finished cooking them in the oven on broil. Check for doneness with a meat thermometer. Sprinkle with lemon juice, cheese, and olives. Serve immediately.

Good with pasta salad.

Watch the grocery stores for sales on different cuts of beef - I got two huge sirloins this week at Smith's for $2.99/lb! (They are usually around $6-$8/lb at Harmon's.)
