Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the broiler.
Combine the tomatoes and olives in a small bowl and season with pepper. Add the vinegar, olive oil, and 1/4 cup of the parsley and toss to mix. Set the mixture aside.
Arrange the steaks on the rack of a large broiling pan. Broil the steaks, 4 inches from the heat source, until browned on the first side, about 4 minutes. Turn and cook for 3 minutes on the other side for medium-rare, or 4 minutes for medium.
Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before carving. Slice the steaks into 1/4-inch thick slices and arrange them on a serving platter. Spoon the tomato and olive mixture over and beside the steak, sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup parsley, and serve immediately.
