Remove the string from meat if tied. To cut each steak into a long rectangle that is about 1/2 inch thick, stand it on its side on a cutting board, with a flat side facing you. Hold knife blade parallel to and 1/2 inch above cutting board and, with other hand holding top of meat, slice crosswise into meat (keeping blade 1/2 inch above board) just until you are 1/2 inch from cutting through. Rotate meat to left (or right, if left-handed) and continue to cut and rotate meat until it's unfurled and 1/2 inch thick.
