To prepare, allow the steak to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. Season generously with salt and pepper. For pan-searing, heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil. Sear the steak for a few minutes per side, depending on desired doneness. For grilling, cook over direct heat, turning occasionally. Resting the steak for 5-10 minutes after cooking is crucial for retaining its juices and ensuring tenderness. Slice against the grain before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
