Ingredients

• 2 pounds (900 g) beef round, trimmed of fat

The Steaks
1. Cut meat into ½-inch-thick (1 cm) slices and season both sides with half of your salt and pepper.

5. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of your coconut oil over mediumhigh heat.
6. When oil is hot, add pieces of meat to pan, being careful not to overcrowd.
7. Cook meat for about 3–4 minutes per side. Remove pieces to a wire drying rack on a cookie sheet. When you have cooked all the meat pieces, place in oven until browned.
