instructions
1. In a shallow bowl, combine the garlic, rosemary, thyme, oil and pepper, and set aside.
2. Preheat the grill, or place a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Season the steak on both sides with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Grill or cook the steaks over medium-high heat, turning once, for about 4 minutes per side for medium rare.
4. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and set aside to rest for about 10 minutes.
5. Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the steak against the grain and fan the slices on a platter.
6. Before you spoon the herb sauce over the steak, you may want to remove the smashed garlic cloves or finely chop one of them into the sauce.
