- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup sliced fresh jalapeño peppers

Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Season flank steak with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak for about 4 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice into 3/4-inch pieces.
