FAQs
Can I chop steak another way?
Of course! Though you could substitute New York strip, filet mignon, or sirloin based on taste, ribeye is really delicious.
How best can one obtain a decent sear on the steak?
Before cooking, let your steak come to room temperature; then, use paper towels to pat it dry and eliminate extra moisture. To produce a lovely crust, also use a hot skillet covered in adequate oil.
Could I grill this rather than in a skillet?
Of course! Sear the steak for three to four minutes on each side; cook the prawns on a grill pan or foil for one to two minutes on each side. Your grill should be set to high heat.
With this entrée, what other vegetables might I present?
For a great combo besides asparagus, consider grilled zucchini, roasted Brussels sprouts, or garlic butter mushrooms.
