Notes

To elevate the dish, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the creamy garlic sauce for a subtle kick. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, and when reheating, add a splash of milk or cream to maintain the creamy texture. For variations, try substituting the steak with grilled chicken, shrimp, or roasted vegetables for a different twist. Fresh herbs like parsley or basil make great garnishes for added color and flavor.
