Directions
-
Preheat the broiler.
-
Combine lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, crushed garlic, oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning in a large plastic bag or bowl.
-
Place the steak in the bag or bowl and turn to coat evenly in the marinade.
-
Close the bag securely (or cover the bowl) and refrigerate for 30 minutes, turning once halfway through.
-
While the steak marinates, toss the potato wedges with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning until evenly coated.
-
Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off.
-
Arrange the steak on one side of a broiler pan rack and the potato wedges on the other side.
-
Place the pan under the broiler so the surface of the meat is 3 to 4 inches from the heat source.
-
Broil for 15 to 20 minutes, turning the steak and potatoes once halfway through, until the steak reaches desired doneness (140ðF for rare, 160ðF for medium) and potatoes are tender and golden.
-
Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before carving into thin slices.
-
Serve the sliced steak alongside the roasted potato wedges.

Note
Ensure your oven broiler is preheated before adding the pan to avoid uneven cooking.
For best results, use baking potatoes like Russets for crispier wedges.
Marinating time can be extended up to 2 hours for deeper flavor, but do not exceed as the acid in the lemon may begin to "cook" the meat texture.
If your broiler runs hot, consider moving the rack one level down to prevent the potatoes from burning before the steak is cooked.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet to maintain texture.
