Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use freshly minced garlic to enhance the flavors of the steak. If you prefer, substitute the filet with ribeye or sirloin for a different taste and texture. Additionally, marinating the steaks in olive oil, lemon pepper, and garlic for a few hours can intensify the flavor. Always let the meat rest after cooking to allow juices to redistribute.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the steak alongside roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with Ghoul-Ade(Black Punch For Halloween Party) for a festive touch. For a heartier option, consider serving with mashed potatoes or a creamy risotto. A nice red wine can also complement the flavors wonderfully.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover steak can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the steak in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of olive oil or broth to keep it moist. Alternatively, you can microwave it briefly, but be cautious not to overheat and dry it out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of oil instead of olive oil?
Yes, you can substitute olive oil with avocado oil or canola oil if preferred. Each oil has its own flavor profile, but they will all work for cooking the steak. Just make sure to use an oil with a high smoke point to prevent burning.
What is the best way to know when my steak is done?
Using an instant-read thermometer is the most reliable way to check doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F, while medium should be around 140-145°F. If you prefer a more traditional method, you can also use the touch test to gauge doneness.
Can I make this recipe on the grill instead of the skillet?
Absolutely! Grilling the steak adds a wonderful smoky flavor. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and follow the same seasoning and cooking times. Just ensure to oil the grill grates to prevent sticking, and allow the steak to rest after grilling.
