1 shallot, finely minced
1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp. red pepper flakes
Olive oil
1/2 lemon, juiced
3 thyme sprigs, leaves only
1/2 cup parsley, chopped and divided

Make tapenade: Finely chop 8 of the grape tomatoes and combine with minced shallot, chopped olives, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, thyme half of the chopped parsley and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a bowl.

2 Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a grill pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot and just smoking, add the steak and grill until well browned, about 5-7 minutes on each side. Remove the stead from the pan and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.

Add the remaining chopped parsley and remove from heat. Serve warmed tomatoes along side the steak. Serve remaining tapenade on the side.
