Step 10 –Spoon the cooled garlic crumbs over the steaks to cover the surface up to the edges.
Step 11 –Fold the plastic wrap over the steaks again and pound them to drive the garlic crumbs into the steaks.
Step 12 –Flip the steaks over and repeat the process on the other side.
Step 13 –In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat the remaining olive oil.
Step 14 –Add one steak to the hot oil and cook until the meat starts to sizzle, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 15 –Reduce the stovetop heat to medium and cook the steak until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 135-145 degrees F, about 2 minutes per side.
