Step 1
Pat the 1.5 lb steak dry with paper towels. Rub with 2 tbsp olive oil, then season evenly with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp garlic powder.
Step 2
Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat until smoking hot, about 5 minutes. Place the steak on the grill and cook without moving for 4-5 minutes, until grill marks form and the bottom is browned.
Step 3
Flip the steak and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness (use a meat thermometer: 130°F for medium-rare). The surface should be charred and crusty.
Step 4
Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice against the grain and serve hot.
Step 5
Optional: sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving, if you have them.
