FAQ
Can I use a different cut of steak?
Yes! Sirloin, filet mignon, or even skirt steak work well. Adjust cook time based on thickness.
How do I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of cream to revive the sauce.
Can I make this lighter?
Swap heavy cream for half-and-half or evaporated milk (sauce will be thinner).
Serving Suggestions
