FAQs

1. Can I use frozen steak for this recipe?
Yes, but it’s best to thaw it completely in the fridge before cooking to ensure even cooking.

2. What if I don’t have fresh herbs?
You can use dried herbs instead, but use about one-third of the amount since dried herbs are more concentrated.

3. How can I tell if my steak is cooked to the right temperature?
Using a meat thermometer is the best way to check. For medium-rare, aim for 130°F; for medium, go for 140°F; and for well-done, 160°F is the target.
