Beef Steak with Herb Garnish

1. In a glass bowl, combine garlic, green onion, parsley, salt, pepper, lemon juice and oil; let stand at room temperature for at least 2 hours or for up to 8 hours.
2. Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray. Add steak(s) and fry, turning once, for about 5 minutes for medium-rare, or to desired doneness. Transfer to a platter and let stand for 5 minutes.
3. Spoon herb garnish over each serving.

Variation

Instead of pan-frying, you can place steaks on a broiler pan and broil about 5 inches (12.5 cm) from the heat or grill on a preheated barbecue grill over medium-high heat.
