Steps:
- Put steak in a large resealable plastic bag. Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Reserve 1/2 cup marinade for vegetables; pour remainder over steak and turn to coat. Seal bag. Chill at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place 1 rack in center position and another 4 inches from broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.

- Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This will help to keep the juices in the meat.
- For the pasta salad, use a variety of vegetables. This will add color, flavor, and texture to the dish.
- Make sure to dress the pasta salad with a flavorful dressing. A simple vinaigrette or a creamy dressing would both be good options.
- Serve the steak and pasta salad together, topped with crumbled feta cheese and fresh herbs.
