  1. BULGUR

    Boil the kettle. Place the bulgur wheat in a pot with 150ml [300ml]|#7DA0D7 of boiling water, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Simmer until cooked through, 6-8 minutes. Drain if necessary, fluff with a fork, and set aside.

  2. STEAK

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the steak dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the steak fat-side down until crispy, 3-5 minutes.

Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
