Take the feather blade steak out of the fridge an hour before cooking to let it reach room temperature.

Rub the steak all over with olive oil, and season heavily with black pepper and salt, patting it in on both sides.

Heat a thick-bottomed pan over very high heat and add a little oil to the pan.

Place the steak in the pan and cook it, turning once a minute for even cooking on both sides.

Cook the steak for about three minutes on each side for medium rare.

As you turn the steak, rub it with a little garlic for flavor.

Add butter to the pan while cooking and spoon it over the steak to enhance caramelization.

Add fresh thyme or other herbs to the pan to infuse flavor into the steak.

Once cooked, remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for two minutes before slicing.
