- Pat your steaks thoroughly dry then cover them on both sides with the marinade and set aside at room temperature for about 20 minutes, while you make the salad.
- Place a pan over high heat and leave it to become very hot.
- Lay the steaks in the pan and sear for two minutes on each side until a golden crust forms.
- Season the lamb with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Reduce the heat to medium, flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Remove the steaks from the pan and leave them to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
