Directions

1. Trim any large portions of excess fat from edge of steak. Season steak all over with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare remaining ingredients and preheat oven to 400°.
2. Following the insertion guide on the Yummly Thermometer app, insert the thermometer horizontally into the largest muscle of the steak, avoiding bone and any pockets of fat, all the way to the black cap so the metal on the thermometer is completely covered.
3. Heat a large cast-iron skillet or other ovenproof frying pan over medium-high heat until a few drops of water added to pan evaporate right away. Drizzle olive oil into center of skillet, set steak on top, and sear, turning once, until steak is well browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove pan from heat and stir garlic, bay leaves, and pink peppercorns into oil in pan.
