When this cut of meat is cooked on the stove and finished in a hot oven, you will have a steak that is perfectly cooked.

Place steaks on cutting board, blot excess
liquid from steak. Lightly salt both sides. Generously
season with pepper and garlic powder. Cover with
plastic wrap for 40 minutes.

Turn oven to 485 degrees. Heat oven safe stainless teel pan to medium-high heat. Add olive oil to coat pan.

a nice caramelized crust. Cook 3 minutes each side.

Take pan to oven, cook 5 minutes for medium rare.
Remove pan, place steak on serving dish, tent with
foil and rest 10 minutes. This allows juices to re-distribute

The garlic and pepper really enhance the flavor of the beef.
