Notes
Letting steak rest before slicing keeps it juicy and tender.
*Eat Shed Glow® encourages leaner cuts of steak, these work very well in a pan:
Sirloin
Flank steak
Top round
Flat iron
Leaner steaks cook quickly and should not be overcooked to avoid toughness.
This method also works well for richer cuts such as ribeye or New York strip if preferred.
