Note

Ensure the beef rests for the full 5 minutes to retain its juices and remain tender.

You can substitute coriander with fresh parsley if preferred.

For a heartier meal, serve alongside crusty bread or roasted potatoes.

Adjust the amount of lemon juice to taste for desired acidity.

Make sure the pan is hot before adding the beef to ensure a good sear.
