# Chef's Tips:

01 -
  • The roasted garlic sauce is velvety, rich, and incredibly forgiving even if youre new to pan sauces
  • Flank steak becomes restaurant tender when you rest it properly and slice against the grain
  • Everything comes together in under an hour but tastes like you spent all day cooking
02 -
  • Letting the steak rest for the full 10 minutes is the difference between juicy and dry meat
  • Slicing against the grain shortens the muscle fibers and makes every bite tender
  • Your roasted garlic cloves should squeeze out like soft butter when theyre done
03 -
  • Pat your steak absolutely dry before seasoning for the best sear
  • Let your pan get properly hot before adding the meat
