- Sprinkle with the sea salt/cracked white pepper.
- Heat another tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium- high heat until it just begins to smoke. Add the steaks and cook to desired doneness.
- About 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Once done, remove the steaks from the skillet and keep warm.
