Como hacer un bistec

Whether you do your steak in a pan or grill, I show you how to achieve juicy and tasty garlic sirloin steak meat.

The smell of steak, especially when seasoned with plenty of garlic, reminds me of my grandfather. Every summer, I was sent with my grandparents to the beach, and my mother stayed in the city working. My grandfather always had hearty breakfasts prepared at 6 in the morning, and the smells would awaken my cousins and me every day.

Returning to the steak, you can learn the technique, but the meat must be good. I like aged top sirloin.

I would not recommend a thin steak; there is no room for mistakes ... and if it gets dry, it tastes like shoe soles.... so buy a thick steak of about 1" ¼. After cooking, cut it into thin slices and serve.

  4. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic on the top side, flip and cook for 4 minutes.
  5. If you like it medium, remove it from heat and let it rest for 10 minutes on a cutting board covered with aluminum paper or a pan.
  6. Cut into slices and serve with their juices.

Notes

 

  • If your steak is thin, 2 minutes per side should be sufficient.
  • If your steak is thick and you like it well done, cook for 5 minutes per side.
  • Like anything, practice is essential.
