A delicious cut of beef cooked to perfection.

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

Prepare 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.

Season the Steak

In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it is shimmering but not smoking.

Heat the Pan

Once the oil is hot, carefully place the steak in the pan. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it. This will create a nice crust.

Sear the Steak

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.

Flip and Add Flavor

Using a spoon, baste the steak with the flavored oil from the pan for added moisture and flavor during the last couple of minutes of cooking.

Baste 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.

Rest the Steak

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