Notes

To enhance the flavor of the steak, let it come to room temperature before searing. Avoid overcrowding the pan to achieve a perfect crust. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of milk or cream to restore the sauce's creamy consistency. For longer storage, freeze it, but be mindful of potential texture changes upon thawing. Feel free to substitute steak with grilled vegetables or lean protein options. You can also use gluten-free pasta if needed. Enjoy your cooking adventure!
