Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider marinating the steak in a mixture of soy sauce and garlic for a few hours before cooking. If you don't have beef broth, you can use water or vegetable broth as a substitute. Fresh corn can replace canned corn for a sweeter taste, just cook it until tender before adding it to the skillet. Adjust the thyme to your preference, or try using Italian seasoning for a different flavor profile.
