Notes
A few good whacks with a meat mallet before marinating help break down those tough fibers, making the meat extra tender. Once that’s done, let the steak sit in the marinade for at least 4 hours, but if you got time, overnight is even better for max flavor.
Grab a meat thermometer and cook it to 135°F for medium-rare or 145°F for medium. When it’s done, cover it with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes so all those juices stay put. And when it’s time to slice, always cut against the grain boos!
