Season the steak

• Pat the steak dry and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Sear the steak

• Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over high heat until shimmering.
• Lay in the steak and sear undisturbed until a deep crust forms, then flip.

Baste with butter and garlic

• Lower the heat, add the butter and smashed garlic.
• Tilt the pan and spoon the foaming butter over the steak repeatedly.

Rest and serve

• Transfer the steak to a board and let it rest before slicing against the grain.
