Instructions
Marinate the Steak
1
Combine soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using) in a bowl. Whisk for 20-30 seconds.
2
Place the steak in a zip-lock bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over and turn to coat both sides thoroughly. Seal the bag tightly, removing excess air to maximize surface contact.
3
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.
Cook the Steak
4
Preheat a cast iron skillet or grill to high heat (450°F+).
5
Remove the steak from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off. Pat the steak dry with paper towels.
6
Sear the steak for 3-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer to check for medium-rare (130-135°F / 54-57°C).
7
Let the steak rest on a cutting board for 5-8 minutes before slicing. Slice against the grain.
