Grilled Flank Steak Greek Style

This succulent, marinated steak combined with the spicy peppers, salty feta and cool tzatziki leaves little for the tastebuds to desire.

Oregano grows wild over most of the greek islands. Bags of the dried herb are often harvested and sold by children on the docks.

This recipe can easily be doubled, tripled, quadrupled (or more) to serve a big group.

It’s splendid for a buffet because it is just as delicious served at room temperature or cold.
