Grind fennel seeds, peppercorns and crushed red pepper in a spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle. Sprinkle the mixture and 1/8 teaspoon salt on steak.

Heat the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak, flipping occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 125°F for medium-rare, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a clean cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
