Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparation

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

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Rub olive oil over both sides of the steak. Season generously with salt and black pepper. Mince the garlic and sprinkle it over the steak. Add the fresh herbs.

  3. 3

    Heat the Pan

    Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until very hot.

  4. 4

    Cook the Steak

    Place the steak in the hot pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, until a crust forms. Flip the steak and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice the steak against the grain and serve warm. Enjoy your Bistec!
