Answer 2

First of all, i think you have to make sure that you get a good quality of meat (red light colour, creamy firm fat, and tender). Then trim the fat off, but make sure you leave a bit of it to add flavour when cooking. Score the meat (dont cut all the way through it) and season it for a day or so (with watever seasoning you feel like, but salt and pepper are essential!!).

When you are ready to cook it, make sure that you have just enough oil (the fat will turn into oil) or you can even cook it without any oil at all, depends on how much fat you have in the meat. Seal/cook both side first to ensure you have a great presentation colour and then cook it to your preference. Once its done, rest it for a while to let all the juices spread evenly to all part of the meat (especially if you are cooking medium to rare) otherwise it will become very juicy and it wont look and taste as good as it should.

Now u are ready to eat your steak! enjoy!

Answer 7

get some McCormick steak seasoning, rub it in the meat real well. Then marinate it in coke with lime, for about 3-4 hours. Then cook any way you like, I personally like it grilled. Yummy and tender.

Answer 8

On the grill! Before you toss it on the grill marinade it in Fiesta Brand texas style steak seasoning and a bottle of beer. Best tacos you'll ever eat.

Answer 9

Marinate it in Italian dressing- that's the easiest way and it comes out very tender. Otherwise, most flavorful way it to put:
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup Jack Daniels
Marinate for at least 8 hours.
