2.Steam for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp and vibrant in color.

Sensory Checks

Color

Steak should have a deep brown crust with a warm pink center.

Seal / Structure

Sauce should be velvety and thick enough to hold its shape on the plate.

Check

Vegetables should remain bright green and white, not mushy.

Common Errors

⚠ Searing a cold steak, which leads to uneven cooking.
⚠ Overcooking the cream sauce until it separates.
⚠ Not resting the meat, causing juices to run and thin the sauce.

Notes

This dish is a classic steakhouse preparation.
For a deeper flavor, deglaze the pan with a splash of brandy or cognac before adding the cream.
