Season Generously: Drizzle olive oil over each steak and sprinkle generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Give them a gentle rub to coat evenly.

Bake Until Golden Brown: Place your seasoned steaks on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 25-30 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy around the edges. Flip halfway through for even browning.

Serve Hot!: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. You can top them with cheese or fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy while hot for maximum crunch!
