Preparation

Step 1

Place steak in a large baking dish and season with salt. Stir orange zest and juice and remaining six ingredients in a small bowl to combine. Spread mixture evenly over both sides of steak and let marinate at room temperature for one hour.

Build a medium hot fire in a charcoal grill. Grill steak, turning once, until nicely charred, about five minutes or each side for medium-rare. Transfer to a carving board and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice steak across the grain. Spoon on the tapenade and serve
