Directions

Bring to Room Temp & Season: Remove steaks from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Pour on some Madagascar Black pepper Olive Oil, and season generously with sea salt on both sides. Skip added pepper.
Sear: Heat a cast iron or heavy pan over medium-high until quite hot. Add 1 TBSP Madagascar Black Pepper Olive Oil. Sear steaks 2–3 minutes per side until a rich crust forms. Add herbs during the last minute if using.
Finish Cooking: Lower heat slightly and cook to desired doneness, or finish in a 400°F oven for thicker cuts.
Rest: Remove steaks and rest for 8 minutes. This allows the steak to re-absorb moisture.
Finish: Slice steak against the grain. Drizzle Black Cherry Dark Balsamic lightly over the sliced steak or directly onto the plate.
