Method

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat until it starts to smoke, or preheat the grill according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  2. Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season it with salt and pepper.

  3. Cook the steak, turning it frequently, until it is well-charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the steak reads 125°F for medium rare or 130°F for medium. This should take about 8 minutes in total.

  4. Transfer the cooked steak to a cutting board, cover it loosely with foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes.

  5. Meanwhile, pat the steak dry with paper towels and season it with salt and pepper.

  6. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable or canola oil in a large stainless steel or cast iron skillet over high heat until it shimmers.

  7. Add the steak to the hot skillet and cook it, turning it frequently, until an instant-read thermometer registers a temperature of 120 to 125°F for medium-rare. Adjust the heat if needed to prevent excessive smoking or burning.

  8. Transfer the cooked steak to a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

  9. If using a grill pan, wipe it clean. If using a regular pan, clean it as well.

  10. Brush one side of each slice of bread with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil.
