Grab-and-go offerings of picnicky food are almost universally mediocre and exasperatingly expensive.  Resist the temptation to outsource and make your own. This recipe is built to last.  You can make it a day or two ahead of time, or leave it out on the counter if you're going to eat this steak within a few hours of making it.
