Notes

You will need to cook these on a high heat - this is so you get a nice sear on the outside, but it still gets pink in the middle.
Allow the steak to rest for 10 minutes before cutting it. This is to make sure that you don't lose all the juices and flavour.
Make sure to cut the steak across the grain. This is to break up the muscle fibres and it will be tough and chewy otherwise.
Add some creaminess by topping the steak with some slices of avocado.
To take the flavours to a next level, skip the salsa and drizzle with some chimichurri sauce.
