Preheat a non-stick pan on high heat; if using stainless steel, add 1 tablespoon of canola oil.

Place the flank steak in the pan with a sprig of rosemary underneath it.

Cook the steak for 2 minutes on one side, then flip it to the other side and cook for another 2 minutes.

Lower the heat and cover the pan, cooking for a couple more minutes to even out the temperature.

Check the steak periodically while it's covered to retain moisture.

After cooking, let the steak rest for about 3-4 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.

Slice the steak and serve.
