Tenderize the meat by wrapping it in plastic wrap and pounding it with a meat mallet.
Mix the black pepper, salt, Italian seasoning, garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, and honey in a bowl to create a marinade.
Place the meat in the marinade and let it chill for at least 5 minutes in the refrigerator or up to four hours.
Heat a cast iron pan, charcoal grill, or grill pan until sizzling hot, then place the steak in it. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side.
Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing it against the grain.
