1
Prepare the Beef
Take the beef steak out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to an hour. This will help the steak cook evenly.
2
Season the Steak
In a small bowl, mix together the salt and black pepper. Rub this seasoning mix all over the beef steak evenly.
3
Prepare Garlic and Rosemary
Peel and crush the garlic cloves slightly with the flat side of a knife. Rinse the fresh rosemary sprigs.

4
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
5
Sear the Steak
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the seasoned beef steak in the skillet. Sear for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it.
6
Add Garlic and Rosemary
After 4-5 minutes, flip the steak over. Add the crushed garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs to the pan.
7
Finish Cooking
Cook the steak for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or longer to reach your desired doneness. If desired, add butter during the last minute of cooking for extra flavor.
8
Rest the Steak
Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
9
Serve
Slice the steak against the grain and drizzle with lemon juice if desired. Serve immediately.
