👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Steak
Remove steaks from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking.

Remove steaks and let rest.

💡 Pro Tips
Use a meat thermometer for accuracy:
Rare: 125°F (52°C)
Medium-rare: 130–135°F (54–57°C)
Medium: 140°F (60°C)
Don’t overcrowd the pan — cook in batches if needed.
Let steak rest before slicing to keep juices inside.
For extra depth, add a splash of white wine before the cream.
🧊 Storage
Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days.
Reheat gently over low heat to prevent sauce separation.
