Part 2/6:
To start, you’ll need some quality beef. For this recipe, we recommend using alcatra, which is already cut into steaks. If your pieces are a bit large, don’t worry—simply cut them in half or pound them to your desired thickness. To pound the meat, place each piece between sheets of plastic wrap and gently flatten them with a kitchen tool of your choice. This helps tenderize the meat and makes the next steps easier.
After prepping the meat, season both sides generously with salt, black pepper, and minced garlic (about three cloves, though you can adjust to your personal taste).
