Serving Suggestions

Pair this dish with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables to balance the richness. A crisp, chilled white wine like Sauvignon Blanc complements the flavors beautifully.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overcooking the Steak: Ensure the steak strips are not overcooked by searing them quickly on high heat.
• Undercooking the Potatoes: To avoid raw centers, ensure the potatoes are baked until tender.
• Over-seasoning: Be mindful of seasoning, especially if you’re using pre-seasoned steak or shrimp.

Storing Tips for the Recipe

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain texture, or use a microwave for convenience.
