We're pretty sure that this cilantro garlic sauce would be good on anything, but it works particularly well with a nice grilled steak. Enjoy the steaks with a simple green salad on the side.

Make

Remove steak from marinade (discard marinade) and season generously on both sides with some salt and pepper.
If cooking on a grill: Heat up grill to 500F / 260C. Clean grates and brush with some oil. Add steak to heated grill. Grill steak for ~3 minutes on each side with the cover closed. Continue cooking until it reaches desired level of doneness. Medium-rare: 130F / 54C degrees (~3 minutes); Medium: 140F / 60C degrees (~6 minutes); Well-done: 160F / 71C degrees (~10 minutes).
If cooking on the stovetop: Heat up a grill pan over high heat. Brush with some oil, and add steak. Sear steak on both sides. Continue cooking until it reaches desired level of doneness. Medium-rare: 130F / 54C degrees (~3 minutes); Medium: 140F / 60C degrees (~6 minutes); Well-done: 160F / 71C degrees (~10 minutes).
Remove steak from heat, cover in foil to keep warm and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing across the grain (i.e. perpendicular to the fibers).
While steak rests, chop tomatoes and cucumbers. Combine with spinach and top with cilantro garlic sauce (the portion for the salad). Toss to combine. Sprinkle pepitas on top.
Serve sliced steak with salad on the side. Enjoy!
