Tips
- For a healthier option, try using skim or low fat milk.Thanks
- For larger steaks, use a larger pan and proportionally more ingredients.Thanks
- For ordinary methods and typical market grades of meat, a marinade is required to achieve tenderness on par with more expensive cuts such as ribeye or strip steak. This unusual cooking method may not need it. Tastes vary, though; marinate the meat, if desired.Thanks
