Lemon-Infused Beef: A Citrusy Twist on a Classic Dish

This recipe is a flavorful and easy way to prepare beef, featuring tender slices of beef in a tangy lemon sauce. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound beef tenderloin or sirloin steak, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 lemon, zested and juiced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture into a large resealable bag or shallow dish.
2. Add the beef slices to the bag or dish, making sure they are coated with the marinade. Marinate the beef in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef slices and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness.
4. Serve the beef slices hot, with the lemon sauce spooned on top.

Tips:

• For a thicker sauce, mix together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1 tablespoon cold water, and stir it into the skillet after cooking the beef. Bring the sauce to a boil and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until it has thickened.
• Serve the beef slices with a side of your favorite vegetables, such as asparagus, broccoli, or roasted potatoes.

The combination of the tender beef and tangy lemon sauce makes this recipe a standout. It's sure to be a hit with everyone at the dinner table.
