Steaking Your Claim on Gluten Free Flank Steak with Cilantro Chimichurri
For my list of tips on how to cook the perfect steak, make sure you check out my guide for ideal internal temperatures in Porcini Dusted New York Strips.
Here are some of my favorite tips though to ensure a perfect cook every time. First, allow your meat to rest before cooking. Whether you cook it inside or grill it, you always want to rest your meat and bring it closer to room temp before it hits the high heat.
Always preheat your skillet or grills. You want your cooking surface hot to ensure you get that beautiful crust.
Just like you let your meat rest at the beginning, make sure you rest your meat after cooking. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes before cutting so the juices can redistribute into the steak as opposed to running out onto your cutting board.
It’s that fast and easy! Now let’s make Gluten Free Flank Steak with Cilantro Chimichurri.
