You won't need the luxury of time to whip up this special meal -- whether you're celebrating the holidays or just the end of a grueling week. The pungently addictive relish not only makes a good steak even better, but also can be called into action to perk up a simple chicken breast or otherwise bland fare.
-- Susan Puckett
Hands on time: Total time: 30 minutes Serves: 2
Ingredients:
-
1/3 cup drained kalamata or other brine-cured olives, pitted and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 ( 3/4-inch-thick) boneless beef loin (strip) or rib-eye steaks ( 1/2-pound each)
Instructions:
Prepare gas or charcoal grill. (Or, oil a ridged grill pan.)
While grill is heating, prepare relish: stir together olives, onion, oregano, oil and salt and pepper to taste. Pat steaks dry and season with salt and pepper. Grill steaks on an oiled rack set 5 or 6 inches over glowing coals (or in grill pan over medium-high heat) about 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
Serve steaks topped with relish. Adapted from "Gourmet Every Day " (Random House, $29.95).

Notes:
It's well worth braving a few chilly minutes to grill them outdoors, but the thin-blooded can do almost as well by grilling them inside on a grill pan, or even broiling them.
To make the meal: green salad and redskin potatoes
