Searing the Steak: Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy frying pan over high heat. Once hot, sear the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust according to your preference. Halfway through cooking, add the garlic and lemon marinade to the pan to infuse the steaks with its flavors.

Resting and Drizzling: After cooking, let the steaks rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat. This ensures a juicy steak. Then, cut your steak in slices, drizzle the remaining THC/CBD-infused olive oil and lemon juice over the steaks right before serving.
