Steak Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Steak
Take the beef steak out of the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps in even cooking.
Season the Steak
Generously season both sides of the steak with salt and black pepper. Make sure to rub the seasoning into the meat for better flavor.
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it is shimmering but not smoking.
Flip and Add Flavor
Flip the steak using tongs. Add the garlic cloves and fresh herbs to the pan. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer it more well done.
Rest the Steak
Remove the steak from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Let it rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
Serve
Slice the steak against the grain and serve it with your choice of sides.
