Ingredients
– 1 lb flank steak or sirloin steak
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 1 tsp salt
– 1/2 tsp black pepper
– 1 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
1. 1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. 2. Season the steak all over with salt and pepper.
3. 3. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over high heat. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side until a nice crust forms.
4. 4. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 8-12 minutes, flipping halfway, until the steak reaches your desired doneness.
