   Cook the steak in the hot pan for 6 to 7 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your liking. Halve the garlic clove, and rub the steak with the cut side during cooking for bonus flavor. Remove to a plate to rest.

   Cut the steak against the grain and with the knife at an angle into 1/2 cm slices, then arrange on a serving platter or divide between plates.
