  6. Cover the steaks with plastic wrap and marinate them for 2 hours in the refrigerator then for 1 hour at room temperature.
  7. Heat the oil in a very large skillet over medium to high heat.
  8. When the oil has reached its smoking point, add the steaks, which should not overlap.
  9. Cook the steaks for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness. They should be golden.
  10. Remove the pan from the heat, transfer the steaks to a dish and keep them warm, covering them with aluminum foil. The aluminum foil should not be in contact with the steaks.
