- •1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- •1/2 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
- •Paprika, Smoked(3g)
- •Olive oil(30g)
Regular (not extra-virgin) olive oil for high-heat cooking. EVOO for dressings.

Instructions
- 1Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season evenly with the salt, pepper and smoked paprika.
