Ingredients
Serves ~4
2 pounds bistek or skirt steak, sliced thin*

*Ask for “bistek” at your local Hispanic market, or have your butcher specially slice a skirt steak for you, extra thin.

 
 
 
Directions 
 
  1. Sprinkle salt on both sides of the meat. Set aside.

  2. Heat a grill or dry, heavy-bottomed skillet over a medium-high flame and lightly brown the steak for 45–50 seconds on one side. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
