Chicken breast is leaner, while pork loin is often less expensive.

Retie the sides of the steaks with cotton string to keep their shape.

Season liberally on both sides with salt and sprinkle with black pepper; leave at room temperature for 1 hour.

Heat olive oil in a heavy frying pan over medium heat.

Add crushed garlic and cook until lightly browned, then remove the garlic.

Add the beef and sear all around until browned.

Place the meat flat and cook both sides for about 6 to 7 minutes per side or until cooked through.

Check the temperature of the meat; it should be between 150 to 155 degrees Fahrenheit (65 to 70 degrees Celsius).

Remove from heat and wrap with aluminum foil immediately; let rest for 30 minutes.

Unwrap the foil, remove the string from the beef, and slice thinly.

Collect the beef drippings in a small pan, add ingredients for steak sauce, and heat to reduce for a couple of minutes.

Serve the sliced beef with the sauce.
