Instructions

Prepare the garlic crumb

In a bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, melted butter, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Pro tip: Ensure all breadcrumbs are coated with butter for even browning.

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Prepare the steaks

Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper on both sides.

Pro tip: Bring steaks to room temperature before cooking for even cooking.

Sear the steaks

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.

Pro tip: Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.

Add the crumb topping

Spoon the garlic crumb mixture evenly over each steak.

Pro tip: Press crumbs gently to help them adhere.

Finish in the oven

Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the crumb is golden brown and the steaks reach your desired doneness.

Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: 54°C (130°F) for medium-rare.

Rest the steaks

Remove the steaks from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Pro tip: Resting allows juices to redistribute, ensuring tender steaks.
