Notes
Ensure your steak is at room temperature before cooking for more even cooking. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; 130°F is medium-rare, while 145°F is medium. Let the steak rest for at least five minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Experiment with different vegetable combinations to enhance the meal's nutrition and flavor.
