Flank steak and tomatoes FAQ:
Cook the flank steak for about 4-6 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 130-135°F (54-57°C) for best results.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently in a skillet over low heat to maintain tenderness.
Yes, you can substitute flank steak with other cuts like skirt steak or sirloin. Adjust cooking times based on the cut used to achieve the desired doneness.
The cherry tomatoes should be heated through and begin to soften, which typically takes about 2-3 minutes of cooking after being added to the skillet.
You can use other mild chili peppers like poblano or a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat. Adjust the amount based on your heat preference.
Cooking Tips:
