1
Season the Steak
Take the steak and pat it dry with paper towels. This helps to achieve a good sear. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
2
Optional Marinade
If you would like to use a marinade, combine garlic powder, rosemary, and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl. Coat the steak with the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.

3
Heat the Pan
Heat a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to heat until shimmering.
4
Cook the Steak
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the steak in the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side for medium-rare, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Adjust the time based on your preferred doneness: less time for rare, more time for medium or well-done.
5
Let it Rest
After cooking, remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute in the meat.
6
Slice and Serve
Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately, enjoying it with your favorite sides.
