Garlic Crumb-Crusted Steak

Here's the rewritten recipe:

Collect all necessary ingredients beforehand.

Prepare garlic crumbs by mixing 3 tablespoons of olive oil with minced garlic in a small bowl and heating it over medium heat until the aroma is released, approximately 20 to 30 seconds.

Sift olive oil into a separate bowl containing breadcrumbs and blend until well combined, resulting in garlic-infused crumbs. Allow the garlic crumb mixture to cool down.

Slice an 8-ounce steak into two equal portions. Place one of the steaks on a sheet of plastic wrap and cover it with the wrap, folding it over to conceal the meat. Use a tenderizer or another heavy object to flatten the steak to 1/4 inch thickness. Repeat this process with the second steak.

Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly on both sides of the steaks for added flavor.

Spread cooled garlic crumbs over the flattened steak, covering it up to the edges. Fold over the plastic wrap and use a tenderizer or another heavy object to press the garlicky breadcrumbs into the steak. Flip the steak over and repeat this process on the other side.

Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches the desired temperature. Once hot, add the steak and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until it starts to sizzle. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for approximately 2 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (medium to medium-rare). Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the steak to check its internal temperature, aiming for 130 to 140 degrees F (54 to 60 degrees C).

Serve the steak and indulge in its delicious flavors!
