Ingredients

Marinade

Toppings

  • 1 small roma tomato, diced
  • 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup lettuce, chopped
  • 1/4 cup store bought tzatziki sauce

Instructions

  • Combine the steak and marinade ingredients in a large zip top gallon bag and shake until steak is fully coated in marinade.
  • Refrigerate for 1-4 hours. The longer it marinades the more flavorful the meat will be.
  • Make the naan according to the blog post while the steak marinades and then allow to cool on a cooling rack so they don't become soggy.
  • Once the steak is marinated, heat a large skillet to medium high heat.
  • Add the steak to the skillet and sear on both sides for 2-3 minutes until fully cooked through.
  • If you are using a large cut of meat (ours was already 1/2 inch) you can finish off the steak in the oven at 400°F for 5-7 minutes.
  • Once cooked through, allow the steak to cool on a cutting board for 10 minutes prior to slicing.
  • Once sliced top each piece of naan with a quarter of the meat along with some of each topping.
  • Serve immediately.
