Notes

Preheating your cast iron skillet in the oven before searing helps achieve a better crust. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet to maintain moisture. For a lighter version, consider using a lean cut like sirloin, and feel free to substitute herbs according to your preference. Use the leftover buttery juices to drizzle over side dishes for added flavor.
