Instructions

1. 1.
   Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, lay the flank steak in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until a nice brown crust forms. This will ensure a juicy interior and a flavorful exterior. If the steak sticks, wait as it will release when properly seared. Use a meat thermometer to cook to your desired doneness: 135°F for medium-rare. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
2. 2.
   In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant, ensuring not to burn it as it can turn bitter quickly. Stir in the fresh spinach, tossing frequently until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. The spinach should look vibrant green and shiny; remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking.
3. 3.
   Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness. This technique breaks down the muscle fibers, making the slices easy to chew and enhancing their flavor absorption.
4. 4.
   Arrange the wilted spinach on a plate, creating a bed for your steak. Place the steak slices over the spinach, ensuring even distribution for balanced bites.
5. 5.
   Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top, adding a tangy contrast to the rich steak and earthy spinach. Serve immediately while warm, allowing the cheese to slightly melt against the steak.
