Are you a carnivore? I love a good pan-seared steak, but I have never made a flank steak this way before. Always in a rush to get dinner on the table, I seasoned up the meat and got it into a super hot cast iron pan. Make sure to add fresh garlic and herbs to the pan. Don't forget to add a tbsp of butter, to the pan and spoon it over the meat throughout the cooking process. The key to success and a caramelized crust on the meat is to place it in the pan and avoid touching it for at least 5 minutes before you flip the meat.
