  2. Place the steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
  3. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it's fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish.

  7. Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet (cast iron is ideal) over high heat until very hot.
  8. Add the steak to the hot skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes per side for a perfect crust.
  9. Reduce heat to medium-high and continue cooking to your desired doneness, using a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.
  10. Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
