Notes
- Marinade Longer: If time allows, try marinating the steak overnight. This enhances flavor significantly.
- Use a Meat Thermometer: It takes out the guesswork. For medium-rare, look for an internal temperature of about 130°F.
- Prep Ahead: Chop veggies and prepare the marinade the night before. This speeds up cooking time on the day of serving.
- Avoid Overcooking: Steak can go from juicy to tough fast. Keep an eye on it to achieve the perfect doneness.
- Experiment with Grains: If rice isn’t your thing, try quinoa, barley, or even riced cauliflower for a low-carb option.
