Tips for Best Results

  • Use a hot pan for a perfect steak sear
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan — cook steak in batches if needed

  • Let steak rest briefly before serving for juiciness

Variations

  • Use chicken instead of steak for a lighter version
  • Add mushrooms or peppers for extra flavor
  • Skip cheese for a simpler, cleaner dish

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven to maintain texture.
