INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 lb top sirloin steak, 1 1/2 inches thick
• 2 Tbl kosher salt
• 1 Tbl grapeseed oil or avocado oil

DIRECTIONS

• Place steak on a wire rack over a sheet pan and salt liberally on all sides with 1 Tbl kosher salt. Let salted steak sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. When steak is at about 5 minutes rest left, place the largest cast iron skillet you have, one in the 12 inch range, over the highest heat of the stove. There will be smoke so turn on the stove hood, open a window or even start a fan.
• Rub all of the steak with 1 tablespoon of grapeseed oil, using just enough oil to barely coat the steak. Sprinkle 1 Tbl kosher salt all over bottom of the skillet. (DO NOT use a teflon or other coated skillet with this recipe.)
• Place the steak in the middle of the hot skillet and leave it, untouched, for 2 minutes. Using tongs, lift the steak and turn 90 degrees and return to skillet (this picks up more salt.) Cook for another 2 minutes. Hold steak up and cook for 30 seconds on each long edge. Remove the steak from the skillet and place on a large piece of aluminum foil, leaving the skillet on high. Wrap the steak, tightly, in foil and let rest for 3 minutes.
• Remove steak from foil and place onto the center of the hot skillet. Cook, untouched, for 3 minutes. Flip and twist the steak again and cook, untouched, for 3 minutes. Flip the steak and turn 45 degrees before placing the steak back onto the skillet. Cook, untouched, for 2 minutes. Flip and turn the steak once again and cook, untouched, for another 2 minutes. Remove steak from the skillet, rewrap tightly in the aluminum foil and rest the steak for 5 minutes. Cut the steak into 1/2 inch strips, on bias across the grain before serving.
