Transfer to oven and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of steaks registers 120° for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a cutting board to rest and tent with foil. Meanwhile, drizzle bread with olive oil on both sides and grill until golden brown on both sides. (The grilled bread also tastes great with basil butter!)
