Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Season steak evenly on both sides with salt and pepper. Add olive oil and place steak in skillet; cook strip steak 12 to 15 minutes for medium rare (62.8°C) to medium (71.1°C) doneness, turning occasionally. Remove steak and set aside to rest.
