Instructions

1.	In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, 2 ounces of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and salt and pepper.
2.	Add the beef to the marinade mixture, turning the beef over to coat it completely. Let the beef marinate in the fridge for up to 4 hours.
3.	Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
4.	While the oven is preheating, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
5.	Remove the beef from the marinade and pat it dry. Grill the beef on each side for 6 minutes for medium-rare or longer depending on your preference.
6.	In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the remaining lemon juice, garlic, and oregano. Whisk together until fully combined to create a sauce.
7.	Place the grilled beef in a baking dish and pour the butter sauce over it. Bake it in the oven for 10 minutes or until the beef reaches your desired internal temperature.
8.	Once baked, let your beef rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.
