  2. Drizzle vegetable oil evenly over the seasoned steak, ensuring it’s well coated to keep the meat juicy.
  3. Cook the steak according to your preferred method (grilling, pan-searing, or broiling) for approximately 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  4. Optional: Garnish with extra crushed peanuts for added crunch and flavor contrast.
