Drizzle with 4 tablespoons olive oil, then massage with your hands to distribute, pressing pepper, rosemary and garlic into the surface. Leave at room temperature for one hour or refrigerate for several hours and bring to room temperature before proceeding.
  3. Heat the oil in a large oven-proof saute pan over high heat. Once the pan is hot add the steak and let it develop a rich brown crust on the first side, 3-4 minutes. Turn it over and brown on the second side.
