2 tablespoons olive oil
3 large garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper

Nonstick vegetable oil spray

Preparation

  1. Step 1

Transfer steaks to carving board and let rest 5 minutes.

    Step 3

    Slice steaks thinly across grain. Arrange on platter; spoon any accumulated juices over and serve.
