For Cooking
- Heat a cast iron grill or skillet over medium high heat until lightly smoking. Brush the 1 tablespoon of avocado oil on the pan and add the steak to the pan. (you may have to cut the steak in half before cooking to fit and cook in 2 batches) Sear the steak 5-6 minutes on both sides until it reaches an internal temperature of 125℉. Remove the steak from the pan and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. (the internal temperature of the steak will rise by 5-10 degrees while resting)
- Slice and serve with lime wedges and cilantro. Enjoy!
