- For a more intense flavor, marinate the steak in garlic and herbs for a few hours before cooking.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for an even better sear on the steak.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or asparagus for a colorful twist!
- If you love creamy sauces, consider drizzling some creamy garlic pasta sauce over the dish for an extra layer of flavor.

- A fresh garden salad for a refreshing crunch.
- Garlic bread to soak up all that delicious garlic butter.
