First thing, we’re gonna heat up our pan to medium-high heat. You want it nice and hot before anything goes in.
Add your olive oil to the pan. Let that heat up properly. While that’s happening, grab your steak and pat it dry. Don’t skip this part, it helps you get that good sear.
Now we’re seasoning. I don’t have pepper right now, so we’re using garlic powder. Sprinkle that over the steak. Don’t overthink it. Add your salt. You can adjust as you go, but make sure it’s evenly coated.
Once your pan is hot, place the steak in. You should hear that sizzle right away. Let it cook without moving it around too much. That’s how you get that nice crust.
Flip it once the bottom is nicely browned and cook the other side. Keep an eye on it until it reaches your preferred doneness.
Once it’s done, take it off the heat and let it rest for about 4 to 5 minutes. This part is important, don’t skip it. Then slice it up, and you’re good to go.
