Once again, thank you, Kittencal! For the first time I successfully made a delicious steak. This way is sooo easy but so good. I used olive oil and added a teaspoon of oregano into it. Due to time constraint, only managed to let the steak sit for 15 minutes but it is still great! So thank you once again, Kittencal!

The first time I've ever made steak that wasn't on a grill. OMG --- it was AMAZING!! So delicious, doesn't dry out, and tastes like it came from a steakhouse. If you want to impress everyone you know, make this!! And if you like steak a little more well done, you can throw it back on for a few seconds after it rests (that's what I did for those who don't like as much pink). I'm so thankful to have found this recipe!!
