Skirt Steak (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 pound skirt steak.
02 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt.
03 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
04 - 2 tablespoons olive oil.

# Instructions:

01 - Cut long steak into 5-7 inch pieces so they fit in your pan better.
02 - Pat steaks super dry with paper towels. Season both sides well with salt and pepper.
03 - Get your cast iron screaming hot - give it 3 minutes on high heat. Add the oil.
04 - Put steak in pan and press it down. Cook 2-4 minutes each side until it hits 130°F for medium rare. Work in batches if needed.
05 - Let steaks rest under foil for 10 minutes. Don't skip this or you'll lose all the juices.
06 - Cut across the grain at a 45-degree angle, making thin slices about 1/4 inch thick.

# Notes:

01 - Open windows - this gets smoky.
02 - Always slice against the grain.
03 - Cast iron works best.
