　　Tender and flavorful, sirloin needs little adornment. The olive sauce imparts just the right hint of spice and saltiness—and it's ready in about ten minutes.

　　

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

　　2 pound (1-inch-thick) boneless sirloin steak

　　4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

　　1/2 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes

　　2 tablespoons olive oil

　　1/2 cup drained pitted brine-cured olives, coarsely chopped

　　1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

　　

Step 1

Heat a dry 12-inch heavy skillet (not nonstick) over medium-high heat until hot. Pat steak dry and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, then sear, without turning, 5 minutes (reduce heat if necessary to prevent scorching). Turn steak over and cook 5 to 6 minutes more for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes.

　　

Step 2

Wipe out skillet, then cook garlic with red-pepper flakes in oil over medium heat, stirring, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add olives and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in parsley just before serving.

　　

Step 3

Slice steak and serve with olive sauce.
