Cooking Instructions
1. sprinkle the steak all over with salt and pepper.
2. Place cast-iron skillet or grill pan over high heat and lightly coat with oil. Sear the steak about two minutes per side and place on cutting board to rest for about five minutes.
3. can cut the limes in half, pierce the juice side with a fork and twist to release the juices over the cooked meat.
4. Cut steak into thin slices across the grain and then let cut each slice into bite-sized pieces for bringing to the table.
