Notes

For best results, use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (aim for 130°F for medium-rare). Let steaks rest to keep them juicy. If storing leftovers, wrap tightly or place in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge. Reheat gently to restore moisture. Experiment with marinades to infuse deeper flavors; a mix of soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice works wonders!
