Preparation

Step 1

In a glass baking dish, season the steak with salt and pepper and rub
with the olive oil. Spread the garlic, scallions and bay leaves all over
the steak. Cover both sides of the steak with lemon slices. Cover and
refrigerate for 24 hours. Light a grill and brush with vegetable oil.
Scrape off the seasonings and bring the steak to room temperature.
Season with salt and pepper and grill over moderately high heat until
medium-rare within, 31/2 minutes per side. Transfer to a carving board
and let rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice across the grain and serve.
