Preparation: Remove the steak from the fridge and let it come to room temperature. This takes about 30 minutes. While waiting, mince the garlic and prepare your herbs.

Marinate: Rub the steak with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. If using herbs, add them now. Let the steak marinate for at least 30 minutes. If you have more time, marinate it in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

Cook: Preheat your skillet over high heat. Add the steak and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Use a thermometer to make sure. Adjust the time depending on your preferred doneness.

Rest: Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This allows the juices to be redistributed throughout the steak.

Serve: Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
