Steak Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Take the steak out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Rub the steak with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat a heavy skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot.

  4. 4

    Cook the Steak

    Place the steak in the hot pan and cook for 4-5 minutes without moving it for a nice sear. Flip the steak and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust the time to your preference.

  5. 5

    Add Butter and Herbs

    In the last few minutes of cooking, add butter and fresh herbs to the pan. Spoon the melted butter over the steak to enhance the flavor.

  6. 6

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Slice the steak against the grain and serve with your favorite sides.
