Note

Ingredient Note: Ensure steaks are well-trimmed of excess fat for a cleaner finish, though some marbling is desired for flavor.

Substitution: If Kalamata olives are unavailable, use any dark, briny olive variety. Goat cheese can be substituted for feta if preferred.

Cooking Tip: For a thicker cut (1.5 inches), consider finishing the steaks in a 400&# 194;°F (200ðC) oven for 5-7 minutes after searing.

Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan with a splash of broth to maintain moisture.
