The pungent flavor of olives and capers accentuates the beefiness of grilled sirloin, which tastes best with simple sides, such as Green Beans with Mushrooms and Onions and brown rice or farro that let the steak take center stage.

Directions

Directions

  1. Lightly spray the grill rack with cooking spray. Preheat the grill on medium high.

  2. Lightly spray the beef with cooking spray.

  3. In a small bowl, stir together the minced garlic (reserve about 1/2 tsp for the tapenade), 1 1/2 tsp thyme, pepper, and salt. Sprinkle over the beef. Using your fingertips, gently press the mixture so it adheres to the beef.

  4. Grill the beef, covered, for 10 minutes on each side for medium rare, or until the desired doneness. Transfer to a cutting board. Lightly cover with aluminum foil. Let stand for 5 minutes. Thinly slice the beef diagonally across the grain.

  5. Meanwhile, in a separate small bowl, stir together the olives, mustard, capers, remaining 1/2 tsp thyme, and remaining minced garlic.
