Fran Yuhas won the "Best of Beef" prize at the Idaho Beef Cook-off with this recipe, which can be prepared in 25 minutes and incorporates Mediterranean flavors. Along with top honors, she took home $25,000 and a pro-design kitchen range.

In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Press into both sides of the steaks. In a large, nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Place the steaks in the skillet and cook for about 10 to 14 minutes for medium-rare to medium doneness, turning once. Sprinkle with the lemon juice. Sprinkle the cheese and olives over the steaks and serve.
