This dish features succulent pieces of steak marinated in a zesty blend of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and dill, which infuses them with delicious flavors and makes them incredibly tender. You can use any cut of beef you like for this recipe, but sirloin works particularly well because it is lean and doesn't require long cooking time.
