Safety first! Use oven gloves and watch out for spitting oil.

Step-by-Step Process

Alright, let's get cooking!

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Make sure it's smoking hot.
2. Add your seasoned steaks to the skillet. Don't overcrowd the pan!
3. Sear for 3- 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Use a meat thermometer! Aim for 135° F for medium rare.
4. Remove the steaks and let them rest for 5 minutes ! This is crucial for a juicy steak.
5. While the steak rests, cook your broccoli. Saute the broccoli florets with oil, salt and pepper over a skillet during 3- 4 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of water, cover, and steam for another 2- 3 minutes. Set aside.
