3. At the same time, heat a dry cast-iron frying pan.

4. Grease the steaks with vegetable oil.

5. Crush the unpeeled garlic with the side of the knife.

6. It is the teeth of the hot vegetable that will give the oil a unique aroma, which will subsequently be absorbed into the meat.

7.Place the beef in a hot frying pan and fry for exactly three minutes, salt the other side.

8. After the time has passed, turn it over and add salt on the other side.

9. Afterwards, add a piece of butter to the frying pan and season the meat with ground pepper to your liking.
