Notes
Cook steaks less for softer juicy texture or longer for crispier charred edges. Freeze cooked sliced steak inside airtight containers for quick future dinners. Handle barbecue sauce carefully because sugar caramelizes quickly on hot grills. Customize flavor using chili flakes, rosemary, or honey glaze. Store leftovers refrigerated and reheat gently for best texture.
