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