Cooking the steak on the stove

  • Heat the skillet.

  • Place the meat on the skillet. Cook each side for 3-5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the steak. Try to flip sides only once.
  • Check inside temperature to reach at least 63° Celsius (145° F) degree up to 70° Celsius (145° F) depending on how you like your meat.

  • Serve with chimichurri sauce and enjoy.

Notes

Cook steak minimum to 63° Celsius (145° F) up to 70° Celsius (145° F) depending on how you like your meat. The higher the temperature, the less juice will remain. Don't cook to less than 63° Celsius (145° F) for health safety concerns.
