Notes

For variations, use chicken instead of steak or add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms to the sauce. If using leftovers, store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop with a splash of liquid to maintain creaminess. Ensure to let the steak rest after cooking for juicier results.
