• 1 sheet of puff pastry, defrosted, kept chilled (recommended brand: Pepperidge Farm)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 1/2 to 2 pounds beef skirt steaks
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), plus some for drizzling

1. Preheat the oven to 400F.

6. Grill the meat for 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
7. Remove the meat and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
