Seared Lean Steak with Garlic Sautéed Kale

• 1.5 lbs Lean Sirloin Steak
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Sea salt

• 2 bunches Curly kale, stems removed
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp Red pepper flakes
• Freshly cracked black pepper

1. Prep the Steak

Bring the steak to room temperature. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

2. Sear the Protein

Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add a touch of oil and sear the steak for 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let it rest on a cutting board.

3. Sauté the Kale

In the same pan, add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Toss in the kale until just wilted, about 3 minutes. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Stewart's Secret: Letting your steak rest for at least 8 minutes after cooking is vital. It allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every slice stays succulent and tender.
