Skillet Steak, Garlic, Lemon and Feta oh MY.

I am not usually a red meat kinda girl but sometimes I just have to have it. (no comments please) I bought some skillet steaks and wanted to do more than just cook them so I made a marinade and a sauce to work some flavorful magic....

4 skillet steaks

Marinade:

1 cup white wine
1/2 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon thyme
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon of garlic
1 tbsp of chopped shallots

In a bowl mix all these ingredients together and let soak for about 10 minutes. When ready pour them into a large plastic ziploc bag and add your steaks and seal. Leave in the fridge for about 15 minutes. (oh and the steaks should be thawed)

This next part needs:

1 lemon, sliced thin
3 to 4 cloves of garlic finely chopped
3 tbsp of olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup feta cheese

In a medium skillet warm olive oil over medium high heat. Add salt and pepper to taste, place steaks in the skillet cooking about 3 minutes per side for a medium well steak, less for more red color. Remove the steaks and store on a warm plate. Add lemon and garlic and the leftover sauce from the bag to the skillet. Boil this liquid mixture, stirring frequently for about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and drizzle over steaks. Add feta cheese to the tops of the steak....

I'd recommend serving some garlic mashed potatoes and a green salad on the side.
