75 ml (1/3 cup) olive oil
30 ml (2 tbsp) balsamic vinegar
1 orange, juiced and zest grated
45 ml (3 tbsp) fresh mint, snipped

  2. Preheat the grill.
  3. In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the vinaigrette and set aside.
  4. Sear the steak over high heat for 3 minutes on each side to seal in the juices. Using tongs, turn again and grill about 8 minutes more for medium-rare.
