How to Make It

1. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
   This helps them cook evenly.

2. Preheat the grill or skillet over high heat.

   

3. Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
   This enhances the flavor and forms a delicious crust.

4. Add olive oil to the skillet or brush it on the grill grates.
   This prevents sticking and adds richness to the steaks.

5. Sear the steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness.
   Adjust the time for your preferred doneness level.

6. Add minced garlic and fresh herbs in the last minute of cooking for flavor.
   This creates a wonderful aroma that complements the steaks.

7. Remove the steaks from heat and let them rest for 5-10 minutes.
   Resting allows the juices to redistribute for optimal flavor.

8. Serve with your choice of sides and enjoy!
   Classic sides like mashed potatoes or grilled vegetables pair beautifully.
