Step 1
Pat the 1 steak dry with paper towels, then season both sides with the 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 2
Heat the 1 tbsp olive oil in a heavy skillet over high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Place the steak in the hot skillet and cook without moving for 3-4 minutes, until a deep brown crust forms.
Step 4
Flip the steak and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or until it feels firm with a little give when pressed.
Step 5
Transfer the steak to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
