6. Flip the steak in the pan.
7. Remove the cooked steak from the pan and place it on top of the seasoned board, allowing it to cool and absorb the flavors.
8. Slice the steak on the seasoned board.

## Equipment

- pan
- cutting board
- knife
- tongs
- salt grinder
- pepper grinder
- fork

## Tips

- Do not season the steak at all before cooking.
- When meat cools, it sucks everything in like a sponge, so slicing it on a seasoned board will allow the juices to mix with the herbs and the meat will soak it back up, creating a delicious sauce.
