For a richer sauce, consider using unsalted butter and adding a pinch of salt to the sauce as it simmers. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preference. A smoky chipotle hot sauce would also be delicious. Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the steaks. This will lower the pan temperature and prevent a good sear. Cook in batches if necessary. Resting the steaks for a few minutes after searing allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

Jun 1, 2025The key is to really get the pan hot before searing the steaks. That's how you get that perfect crust.
