  • Heat oil in a cast iron skillet to medium-high heat. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may have to cook in batches. Add the steak and cook until the internal temperature reaches 140℉, flipping once. Move the steak to a cutting board and cover with foil. Let rest for 10 minutes.

Notes

  • If you want the steak spicier, add the whole can of peppers to the marinade. You can use this marinade on chicken or pork as well.
  • Store leftover steak in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in a skillet for best results.
