1 pound beef top round steak, cut 1 inch thick 6 cups torn romaine lettuce 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced 1/2 small red onion, cut into thin wedges 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese 8 Greek or ripe olives (optional) 2 pita breads, toasted, cut into wedges 2/3 cup fresh lemon juice 1/3 cup olive oil 2 teaspoons dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper
Whisk marinade ingredients in small bowl. Place beef steak and 1/2 of marinade in food-safe plastic bag; turn to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 6 hours or as long as overnight, turning occasionally. Reserve remaining marinade.
Remove steak; discard marinade. Place steak on rack in broiler pan so surface of beef is 2 to 3 inches from heat. Broil 17 to 18 minutes for medium rare doneness, turning once. Remove; let stand 10 minutes. Carve into thin slices.
