Make sure to use fresh, not dried, tarragon in this simple steak recipe for the best results. Toss a small handful of tarragon leaves with roasted and buttered new potatoes and carrots for a complementary dish.
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons finely chopped tarragon
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Pepper, to taste
1 pound top sirloin steak
Put oil, lemon juice, tarragon, garlic, Worcestershire sauce and pepper into a wide, shallow dish and mix well to make a marinade. Pierce steak all over with the tip of a sharp knife. Add to marinade, turn to coat all over, cover and refrigerate for four hours (or longer, if you like), turning several times. Preheat broiler. Place steak on broiler pan and set on oven rack six inches from broiler. Broil five minutes on each side, then remove steak from oven and let rest five minutes. Slice thinly and serve.
