This Mediterranean-inspired grilled flat iron steak is a vibrant choice for anyone seeking a diabetes-friendly main course that doesn't compromise on bold flavours. The beef is marinated in citrus, smoked paprika, and oregano, then grilled until perfectly charred and juicy. Served alongside a fresh tomato salad and peppery watercress, the dish is finished with a salty, homemade olive tapenade that brings a sophisticated depth to the plate.
Rich in protein and healthy fats from the olives and olive oil, this meal is as nourishing as it is delicious. It is a fantastic option for a weekend lunch or an easy yet impressive dinner for friends. By using lean cuts like flat iron or hanger steak, you enjoy a melt-in-the-mouth texture that pairs beautifully with the acidity of the orange and lemon dressing.

How to make Grilled Flatiron Steaks with Tomatoes and Tapenade
Stir 80ml olive oil, next 4 ingredients, and anchovy, if using, in a small bowl. Add more olive oil for a thinner tapenade, if desired. (For a smoother sauce, purée tapenade in a food processor or blender.) Set aside.
Place steak in a large baking dish and season generously with salt. Stir orange zest and juice and remaining 6 ingredients in a small bowl to combine. Spread mixture evenly over both sides of steak and let marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.
Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to high. Grill steak, turning once, until nicely charred, about 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Transfer to a carving board and let rest for 5-10 minutes.
Arrange tomatoes on a serving platter. Scatter shallot and parsley over; drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, toss watercress with 1 tablespoon each oil and lemon juice. Season watercress to taste with salt.
Mound watercress on platter. Slice steak against the grain; transfer to platter with tomatoes and watercress. Spoon tapenade on steak and serve alongside.
