   Season the meat with salt and pepper and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil.

7. 7

   Brown the meat all over in the hot griddle pan, 5 to 6 minutes, and then transfer to the hot rack-topped baking sheet and finish cooking the steak in the oven, 10 to 12 minutes more for medium-rare to medium.

   While the meat cooks, in a saucepot over medium-high heat, add the extra-virgin olive oil.

    Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to simmer until thickened, 10 more minutes.

    Season with salt and pepper.

14. 14

    Melt the butter over low heat in a small saucepan with the remaining garlic.

15. 15

    Toast the bread and brush liberally with garlic butter.

    Serve a little pickled giardiniera salad along side in ramekins, as a garnish.
