Ingredients:
- 2 steaks of your choice (such as ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil or butter for cooking
- Optional: minced garlic, fresh herbs (such as rosemary or thyme), steak seasoning
Instructions:
- Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps them cook more evenly.
- Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and pepper. If desired, you can also rub them with minced garlic, fresh herbs, or your favorite steak seasoning for extra flavor.
- Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil or a pat of butter to the skillet and heat until hot but not smoking.
- Carefully place the seasoned steaks in the hot skillet. Cook the steaks for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer according to your desired level of doneness. Use tongs to flip the steaks halfway through cooking.
- Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a cutting board or plate. Let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Slice the steaks against the grain into thin strips.
- Serve the delicious steak slices with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
Enjoy your yummy steak dinner!
