Step 1
Season the 0.75 lb beef sirloin steak with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over high heat until shimmering.
Step 2
Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, until browned and firm to the touch. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
Step 3
Thinly slice the 1 medium red onion and place in a large bowl. Add the 0.5 cup cilantro leaves and 0.25 cup mint leaves.
Step 4
Slice the rested beef thinly against the grain and add to the bowl. Squeeze the juice of 1 lime over everything and sprinkle with 0.5 tsp chili flakes.
Step 5
Toss well to combine, then season with salt to taste. Serve immediately.
