We enjoyed great grilled steaks, cooked over hardwood and seasoned with plenty of Greek olive oil at Manari Taverna on a recent trip to Athens. The accompanying thick slices of super-ripe tomatoes are topped with green olives. Likewise, it featured plenty of delicious, fruity Greek olive oil.
Inspired, tins of olive oil returned home with us. This Memorial Day, we’re employing some of that bright green, fruity olive oil for our celebration. We also plan to serve a Greek red wine from Nemea, made with agiorgitiko grapes, to pair perfectly with the steak.
