Minute Steak

4 to 6 servings Prep time: 10 min Cook time: 5 min

Welcome to my first edition of Meals Made Easy!

I love sharing my weekly Saturday Mark’s Kitchen recipes with you, and I heard your comments about wanting simpler recipes that take less time. 

Now, every Tuesday, you can plan on receiving an additional weekly recipe that is 10 ingredients or less and can be made in under 30 minutes. I call them Meals Made Easy.

My goal is to stick with easy-to-find ingredients that don’t take a lot of fancy prep-work to make an amazing dish. One small caveat on the ingredients: olive oil, salt, pepper, and water do not count towards the 10 ingredients as those are things you hopefully already have on hand. 

This first Meal Made Easy recipe I’m sharing with you is suprisingly simple but full of so much flavor. By slicing steak into thin strips, it cooks in less than a minute and pairs perfectly with a few fresh herbs and veggies. A little dollop of tahini and some optional jalapeño oil add a lot of extra flavor with almost no extra time. 

I’m grateful to have you here and hope you love these recipes as much as I do. 

Wishing you health and happiness,

Method

Step 1 Minute Steak Healthy Recipe

Step 1

Remove fatty parts from the steak and slice into ¼-inch thick slices, against the grain. Pound the slices out using a meat mallet (you can also use a rolling pin or cast iron pan), to about ⅛-inch. Toss the slices with the avocado oil in a bowl and set aside to reach room temperature.

To make the steak, heat up a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Once very hot, sear a few pieces of steak at a time for 30 seconds, then turn and sear for another 20 seconds. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside to rest while searing the remaining pieces.
