Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and place 2–3 tbsp shredded cheese in a small mound. Cook for 2–3 minutes until golden and crispy, then fold in half. Transfer to a paper towel to set.
How do I know when the steak is cooked to the right doneness?
Use a meat thermometer: 130°F for medium-rare, 135–140°F for medium. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
