❓ Rapid-Fire FAQ
Can I grill instead of pan-sear?
Absolutely. High heat + short time = steak happiness.
Skirt vs. flank—who wins?
Skirt has more marbling (read: flavor), flank is leaner. Pick your team.
Can I store leftover chimichurri?
Yes, fridge it up to 1 week. Dunk everything—from eggs to roast veggies—in it.
Kid-friendly tweak?
Cut chili, add a swipe of mayo. Little humans approve.
