Serves: 4
Prep time: 8 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes

1- Cut the steak into smaller pieces, 5" to 7" in length. This lets them sit better in the pan and makes it easier to slice later.

2- Thoroughly pat steaks dry with paper towels on each side. Generously season each side of the steaks with salt and pepper.

3- Heat a large 12" cast iron skillet over high heat for 3 minutes. Once hot, add the olive oil.

4- Carefully add the steak to the pan, then with a spatula press down firmly on the surface a few times. Sear the first side until browned, about 2 to 4 minutes, depending on the thickness of the meat. Flip and cook another 2 to 4 minutes. For medium-rare doneness, cook steak until it reaches an internal temperature of 130ºF. Work in batches if needed.

5- Transfer steak to a cutting board, loosely cover with foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

6- Hold the carving knife at a 45º angle, and then slice the steak across the grain, about ¼" thick slices. Transfer the skirt steak to a serving plate.
