Instructions
- Marinate steak with olive oil, salt, and pepper, ensuring even coating.
- Preheat grill or skillet to high heat (around 450°F) for optimal searing.
- Cook steak 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, creating a caramelized exterior.

Notes
- Choose a well-marbled steak like ribeye or sirloin for maximum flavor and tenderness when grilling.
- Let the steak come to room temperature before cooking to ensure even heat distribution and perfect doneness.
- Pat the steak dry with paper towels before seasoning to help create a beautiful caramelized crust during grilling.
- Slice the steak against the grain to guarantee maximum tenderness and easier chewing experience.
- Use fresh herbs in the sauce for a brighter, more vibrant flavor profile compared to dried alternatives.
- Replace mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter, healthier sauce option with similar creamy texture.
- Toast the baguette lightly to add crispy texture and prevent sandwich from becoming soggy quickly.
- Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes in herb sauce for subtle heat and extra complexity.
