Swaps, storing and making ahead

Good to know

Swaps

  • No ribeye? Sirloin or New York strip steak cut into chunks works well in its place.
  • No heavy cream? Half-and-half can be used, though the sauce will be thinner and less rich.
  • No parmesan? Pecorino romano can be swapped in for a similarly salty, sharp flavor.

Storing it

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days. Reheat on the stovetop over low heat until steaming hot, adding a splash of broth or cream to loosen the sauce.

Making it ahead

The sauce base can be made a day ahead and refrigerated; reheat and sear the steak bites fresh before combining.
