Notes
Don’t overcrowd the pan—work in batches for a proper sear.Use ribeye or New York strip for extra richness and flavor.For a spicy version, add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the butter.Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, pasta, or veggies for a complete meal.Ghee can be used instead of butter for a higher smoke point and deeper flavor.
