• Get out and measure your ingredients.
  

Marinara Sauce

• Heat oil and garlic in skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant (but not browned), about a minute.
  
• Stir in tomatoes and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in basil, sugar and season with salt to taste.
  

Grilled Steak

• Combine salt and cornstarch.
• Pat steaks dry with paper towel and rub with salt mixture.
• Arrange on wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet and freeze until steaks are firm and dry to touch, at least 30 minutes, up to 1 hour.
• Season steaks with pepper.
• Grill over hot fire and cover until well browned and cooked to desired doneness; 4 to 8 minutes per side.

Easy Broiled Steak Recipe

• Check the notes section for the cooking time based on the size of the steaks you are using.
• Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle positions and preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• To reduce smoking, trim as much unnecessary outside fat and gristle as possible from each of the steaks BEFORE they go on grill.
• Spread 2 cups of salt all across the bottom of your deep disposable foil pan. This will prevent smoking and absorb grease.
• Pat steaks dry with paper towel, season liberally with salt and pepper and place on wire rack.
• Place rack on top of your aluminum foil pan and place it on lower middle rack inside oven.
• Cook for 6 to 10 minutes before removing pan from oven. Timing will depend on the thickness of your steaks according to the Easy Broiled Steak Timing Chart above.
• Flip steaks over and pat dry with paper towel. Allow to rest for 10 minutes while preheating the broiler.
• Transfer pan to the upper-middle oven rack and broil your steaks, flipping every 2 to 4 minutes, until meat registers 125 to 130 degrees (for medium-rare); 6 to 16 minutes.
• If you like steaks well-done, continue cooking and flipping as directed until the steaks reach desired internal temperature.

Pan Fried Steaks

• Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet until very hot for a good sear and crust. Thoroughly drying the steaks is also key. Otherwise steaks will steam and become soggy and not sear.
• On stove, turn top element to high heat and ensure heavy bottomed skillet is big enough to hold steaks. Allow to get hot; about 5 minutes.
• In the meantime, liberally sprinkle both sides of steaks with salt and pepper.
  
• Reduce heat to medium.
• Add enough oil to skillet (lightly coat) so steaks don't stick!
• Place steaks inside skillet, leaving space between each steak.
  
• Without moving steaks around ,cook until well browned; about 5 minutes.
• Using tongs, flip steaks and cook 3 more minute for rare; 4 minutes for medium-rare and 5 minutes for medium.
  

Rest Steaks and Serve

• When steaks are cooked, transfer to plate, tent with foil and let rest 5 minutes.
• Place cooked pasta inside a bowl.
  
• Cover with sauce and add your sliced steak to top. Sprinkle fresh grated parmesan cheese on top if desired.
  
• Enjoy every bite!
