Cooking Tips

• Tenderizing the steak helps to break down the tough fibers and make it more tender.
• Make sure to brown the steak well before simmering it in the sauce to develop rich flavors.
• If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little more beef broth or water to thin it out.
• For a richer flavor, you can add mushrooms to the sauce.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
