👨🍳 Instructions
- Remove the flank steak from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Pat it dry thoroughly with paper towels.
- Season the steak generously with coarse salt on all sides. You can also add freshly ground black pepper if desired.
- Preheat a grill or a heavy cast-iron skillet to high heat until very hot. Sear the flank steak for about 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness.
- Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and flavorful result.
- Slice the Fraldinha thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness. Serve immediately with your favorite accompaniments, such as farofa, vinaigrette, or rice.
