Ingredients

Steps

  1. 1Take the steaks out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature — cold steak cooks unevenly.
  2. 2Season both sides with salt, cumin, and pepper, then rub with a little olive oil.
  3. 3Cube the potatoes, drizzle with olive oil and salt, and roast at 200°C for 30 minutes.
  4. 4Heat a pan on high, lay the steak down and leave it untouched for 3-4 minutes per side (medium doneness).
  5. 5Remove the steak and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving — this step keeps the juices inside.
  6. 6Serve the steak with the roasted potatoes and green olives.

Tips

💡Don't flip the steak more than once — leaving it undisturbed creates a beautiful golden crust.
💡Resting after cooking matters — slicing immediately drains the juices and dries out the meat.
