Chef’s Tips & Variations
Allow steaks to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling for even cooking and optimal juiciness.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop/oven to maintain original texture and flavor.
