Steak Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Steak

Take the steak out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps in even cooking.

2

Season the Steak

Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Season both sides liberally with salt and black pepper.

3

Heat the Pan

Heat a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and allow it to heat until shimmering.

4

Sear the Steak

Once the oil is hot, add the steak to the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it. Flip the steak and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time for your desired doneness.

5

Add Aromatics (Optional)

In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add garlic cloves and herbs to the pan, basting the steak with the oil and juices.

6

Rest the Steak

Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This helps redistribute the juices.

7

Serve

Slice the steak against the grain and serve it with your choice of sides.
