Notes

Use fresh herbs for a vibrant flavor. If unavailable, dried herbs can be used at half the quantity. Let the steaks rest after cooking to allow juices to redistribute; this ensures tenderness. Serve the dish with sides like roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
Store leftovers wrapped tightly in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid toughening the meat.
