Directions

1. Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature, about 30 to 45 minutes.
2. Season the steak on both sides with the salt and pepper. Rub both sides with the olive oil and set aside.
3. Heat a medium heavy-bottomed frying pan (not nonstick!) over high heat until very hot but not smoking, about 3 to 4 minutes. (If the pan gets too hot and starts to smoke, take it off the heat to cool a bit.) Place the steak in the pan and let it cook undisturbed until a dark crust forms on the bottom, about 3 to 4 minutes.
