Lots of ways. It's a somewhat tough meat if not long cooked which is why so
many recipes do that, but sliced thin and made on the 'rare side' with
vinegar, soy sauce, and a 3rd seasoning (Honey and mustard, sweet hot chile
sauce, hoisin sauce, bannana sauce, etc) it works well in a pan for
samwiches or steak bits.

Thick pan (cast iron wins), high heat, short cooking time of about 2 mins
per side (3/4 inch thick meat) and turn off heat letting it 'finish off'. 1
min per side if sliced thinner.
