½ cup chopped cilantro leaves

3 tablespoons diced jalapeños

Heat grill to 400 degrees. Cook steak to 125 degrees for medium-rare, about 3 to 5 minutes per side, seasoning with salt, ground black pepper, garlic, and soy sauce while cooking. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice across the grain.
