Notes
The cooking directions for the steak in this recipe are based on a thin cut of steak, roughly 1-2 centimeters thick for a medium to medium-well level of internal doneness.
Don’t have a mason jar or other jar available for mixing the vinaigrette? No worries. You can whisk the ingredients together in a bowl until combined.
