Grill

Grill: 

Preheat the Grill:

Preheat your grill to high heat. Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Season the Steak:

Brush both sides of the steak with a thin layer of olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper.

Grilling:

Place the steak on the hot grill. Sear each side for 2-3 minutes to create grill marks and a flavorful crust.

Cook to Desired Doneness:

Move the steak to a cooler part of the grill or reduce the heat to medium. Continue cooking, flipping occasionally, until the steak reaches your preferred doneness:

Rare: 120-125°F (49-52°C)

Medium Rare: 130-135°F (54-57°C)

Medium: 140-145°F (60-63°C)

Medium Well: 150-155°F (65-69°C)

Well Done: 160°F (71°C) and above

Resting:

Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a clean plate for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Serve:

Slice the steak against the grain and serve with your favourite sides.

Pan

Prepare your steak

Take the steak out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Season the Steak

Pat the steak dry with a paper towel. Brush both sides with a thin layer of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Preheat the Pan

Place a heavy-bottomed pan (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add a little oil.

Searing

Once the pan is hot, place the steak in the pan. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side to create a nice crust.

Cook to Desired Doneness

Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking, flipping occasionally, until the steak reaches your desired doneness (same temperatures as above).

Optional Butter Baste

In the last few minutes, you can add a knob of butter to the pan and baste the steak for extra flavor.

Resting

Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a clean plate for 5-10 minutes.

Serve

Slice the steak against the grain and serve with your favourite sides.
