Choose your preferred cooking method: Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Cook the steak for 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium doneness. Skillet: Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Add a small amount of oil if desired. Sear the steak for 4 to 5 minutes per side. Broil: Position an oven rack 4 to 5 inches from the heat source and preheat your broiler. Broil the steak for 5 to 6 minutes per side.

Once cooked to your desired doneness, transfer the steak to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a tender and juicy result.

After resting, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. This is crucial for tenderness, especially with flank or skirt steak. Spoon any accumulated juices from the cutting board over the sliced steak and serve immediately.
