Method
Prepare the steak.
Pat the steaks dry with kitchen paper. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat the pan.
Place a heavy frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil and allow it to become hot.
Sear the steaks.
Carefully add the steaks. Cook without moving them at first, allowing a golden-brown crust to develop.
Add flavour.
Turn the steaks, add the crushed garlic, rosemary and optional butter, then spoon the melted butter over the steaks.
Check doneness.
Cooking time varies with thickness, starting temperature and pan heat. Use a food thermometer for a reliable result; follow appropriate food-safety advice for your steak and circumstances.
Rest and serve.
Transfer the steaks to a plate and rest for about 5 minutes. Serve with your preferred potatoes and vegetables.
