# Étapes de réalisation:
01 -
Dry the steak by patting it with paper towels. Sprinkle the salt and pepper evenly on both sides. Let it sit out at room temp for 15 minutes to soak up the seasoning.
02 -
Follow your favorite chimichurri recipe to make the cilantro version.
03 -
Heat a cast-iron pan over high heat for five minutes until it’s super hot. Add the oil, then carefully set the steak in the pan. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side and aim for an internal temperature of 125–130°F for medium-rare.
04 -
Let the steak rest on a plate for 5–10 minutes. Grab a sharp knife and slice it into thin strips, cutting against the grain.
05 -
Scoop rice into bowls, place the sliced steak on top, and drizzle with chimichurri. Sprinkle with extras like flaky salt, cilantro, lime, or pickled onions for flair.
