Ingredients 2 tsp. smoked paprika 1 tsp. packed brown sugar 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil 4 top loin (strip) steaks, cut 1 inch thick (about 12 oz. each) 2 lemons, halved 1 avocado, seeded, peeled, and sliced 4 oz. feta cheese, crumbled Feta cheese wedges (optional) Fresh oregano 1 tsp. finely shredded lemon peel Directions 1. For rub, stir together paprika, sugar, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Coat steaks with 1 Tbsp. oil; rub mixture on both sides. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. 2. For charcoal grill, arrange medium-hot coals on one side of grill. Place steaks on rack directly over coals. Cover and lightly sear on both sides, 5 to 6 minutes. Move to unheated side of grill. Cover and grill 4 to 5 minutes more for medium rare (145 degrees F). Remove; let stand 5 minutes. Grill lemon halves, cut side down, directly over coals, 2 minutes. (For gas grill, preheat grill. Adjust heat for indirect cooking. Grill as above.)
