16
The trick to cooking beef is low & slow.
-
17
Heat a grill pan to about medium-high heat and place the meat into the pan getting the first initial sear for about 30 seconds on each side.
-
18
Turn to medium-low and allow to cook about 7 more min or so on each side, basting with the remaining liquid that was saved.
-

For medium-rare, the meat yields only slightly to the touch, beginning to firm up.

There should be an internal temperature of 130 to 135 (F) degrees.

Once the steak is done, leaving the pan on, remove the steak from the pan and set aside.
-

Allow the meat to rest and redistribute the juices without cutting open, about 5-7 min or so.

Helpful Tips: When it comes to gaging how much liquid mixture to use - If choosing to marinate 4 steaks as oppose to two steaks, place more marinade in the bag.
-
31
Be sure to place just enough liquid over the cabbage salad until glistening and well coated to taste, avoiding a pool forming at the bottom of the cabbage bowl.
