If you choose to marinate your steak, do that up to 24 hours in advance. If you're adding a dry rub, you can coat the steak just before cooking.
Heat stove top to medium high. If you marinated, pat dry prior to adding to the pan.
Add steak to skillet over medium high heat and cook for 4 minutes.
Flip and cook four minutes on each side for medium rare, or go longer until it reaches your desired temperature.
Remove from heat, cover and allow to rest at room temperature for up to 10 minutes.
Slice thin across the grain.
Notes
Allow time to marinate the steak if that's what you're doing for added flavor. Set aside at least four hours or up to 24. This will really help to tenderize the steak and make it full of flavor.
