Make vinaigrette: Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey (omit for Whole30), minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Sear the steak: Heat a skillet over high heat and sear the marinated steak for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Allow it to rest before slicing thinly against the grain.
