- 1.5-2 lbs flank steak
- 1 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 grinds fresh pepper
Season the front and back of the flank steak with generous salt and pepper. Heat up a cast iron pan on high heat.
Once hot, add the butter and let melt but not brown. Add the steak to the pan, best side down first. Set a timer for 5 minutes and walk away (don't be tempted to move the steak around or it will lose it's crisp browning). Flip after 5 minutes and continue cooking on the second side for 4 minutes or until the meat reaches 135 degrees for medium. 5-6 minutes on the second side for more medium well.
Let rest for 10 minutes then slice against the grain and serve with chimichurri sauce.
