Steak with Olives

This pan-seared steak with olives is a sophisticated yet simple dish that brings a Mediterranean flair to your dinner table. By searing a high-quality sirloin steak in a heavy frying pan, you achieve a beautifully caramelised crust that perfectly complements the salty, piquant punch of the brine-cured olives and garlic sauce. It is a wonderful way to enjoy a protein-rich meal that feels indulgent while remaining fresh and vibrant.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this recipe focuses on lean protein and heart-healthy fats from the olive oil. The addition of crushed red pepper flakes and plenty of flat-leaf parsley ensures the dish is packed with flavour without the need for sugary marinades or heavy sauces. Serve with a side of steamed seasonal greens or a crisp salad for a nutritious, low-carbohydrate supper.

Ingredients for Steak with Olives

  • 900g (1-inch-thick) boneless sirloin steak

  • 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

  • 1/2 teaspoons dried hot red-pepper flakes

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 120ml drained pitted brine-cured olives, coarsely chopped

  • 1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

How to make Steak with Olives

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 teaspoons 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.

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.

Slice steak and serve with olive sauce.
