Quick Top Round Steak 'Bifão' with Few Ingredients

Prepare the top round steak slice, aiming for approximately 1/2 inch thickness across its entire width.

Season the steak by rubbing salt and pepper on both sides of the meat.

Spread ketchup over the entire surface of the steak, rubbing it into both sides.

Coat the steak with a little oil, ensuring both sides are lightly greased.

Heat a skillet over medium heat (do not let it get excessively hot).

Place the steak in the hot skillet.

Flip the steak as soon as moisture/juices start surfacing on the top, which indicates a nice sear color has formed.

Remove the steak from the heat immediately after the second side has 'surfaced' and serve.
