About the Recipe:  A cast iron pan is the perfect cooking skillet since it gets extremely hot and will also retain heat for a long time. The steak has a rich sear and produces brown bits for a delicious gravy.  Top it with a fresh cilantro salsa and add some saucy black beans and rice.

Cook’s Note: We usually save the bacon bits and add them to the black beans.  If you have any leftovers, chop the steak into small pieces and mix with the remaining black beans, rice, and salsa.  Sprinkle with shredded hot pepper cheese. Reheat in the microwave to melt the cheese. It’s so delicious!

Prepare Gravy:  While steak is resting, melt butter into cast iron pan drippings; heat over medium heat. Stir 1 Tablespoon flour into beef broth; stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of pan.  Note: many times, I add some black bean liquid from my black beans to this sauce.

Slice steak against the grain; drizzle with pan sauce.

To Serve:  Arrange steak slices on serving platter; spoon some gravy over the steak. Top the steak with prepared saucy cilantro salsa.  We like to serve this with Brazilian black beans and rice.
