Why baste your steak with fish sauce? It’s called umami. Get into it. Rub steak with ¼ cup oil; season with salt and sprinkle with pepper (it should nearly cover both sides). Let sit at room temperature 30 minutes. For an over-the-top dinner menu, serve with arugula with Italian plums, Romano bean salad, paccheri with shellfish, grilled red mullet, and brioche au rhum. We said over-the-top.
