Preparation Steps
1
Allow the beef to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.
2
Rub the beef with salt, pepper, and crushed garlic. Then, drizzle with olive oil.
3
In a hot skillet or on a griddle over medium-high heat, sear the beef for 2-3 minutes per side, until a nice crust forms.
4
Add the butter and rosemary to the pan. Baste the beef with the melted butter for another 1-2 minutes.
5
Remove the beef from the skillet and let it rest for 5-6 minutes, allowing the juices to redistribute.
6
While the beef is resting, prepare the steamed rice: in a saucepan, bring the water to a boil, add salt, then stir in the rice.
7
Cover the saucepan and cook over low heat for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the water.
8
Slice the cooked steak into thin strips and serve with the steamed rice. Garnish with fresh vegetables or a side salad, if desired.
