Step 4: Sear the steak & serve
Steak
- brined steak
- cooking oilfor searing
Tostada components
- tostadas4-6
- crema
- salsa verde
- pickled onions
- queso fresco
- corn salsa
Add a little drizzle of oil to a ripping hot griddle, pan, or grill.
Add the steak and cook, flipping occasionally, until well and on both sides, and the interior has reached at least 120°F/ 49°C (medium rare). Pull off the heat and let it rest.
Meanwhile, gather the rest of the tostada components. Slice the rested steak into thin slices, across the grain.
To assemble the tostada, add a layer of crema or sour cream and follow that with a few spoonfuls of corn salsa. Make sure you get some even spread to the outskirts of the tostada.
Then add a layer of the sliced steak and finish with any other toppings, to preference. Enjoy.
