1
Prepare the Steak
Pat the beef steak dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve a nice crust when searing.
2
Season the Steak
Rub the steak with olive oil, ensuring it is evenly coated. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
3
Mince Garlic
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
4
Chop Rosemary
Finely chop the fresh rosemary leaves. Set aside.

5
Preheat the Pan
Heat a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until it's very hot.
6
Sear the Steak
Add the seasoned steak to the hot pan and sear for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it. Flip the steak and sear for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare.
7
Add Garlic and Rosemary
During the last minute of cooking, add the minced garlic and chopped rosemary to the pan. If using, add butter and let it melt, basting the steak with the melted butter and aromatics.
8
Check for Doneness
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Aim for 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
9
Rest the Steak
Remove the steak from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.

10
Slice and Serve
Slice the steak against the grain and serve with lemon juice drizzled on top if desired. Enjoy your side of meat!
