RECIPE TIPS

1. If you want to eat the steaks later or another day, store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container (don't forget to let the steaks cool completely before storing in the refrigerator).

2. If you have time and want to add a little more flavor to the steaks, let the steaks marinate for about 1 hour.

3. If you want to make the recipe even quicker, replace the fresh tomatoes with tomato pulp. The steaks will lose some of their flavor, but the recipe will be simpler and quicker.

4. You can season the recipe with another type of aromatic herbs, such as parsley or chopped coriander (season with these two ingredients after turning off the heat).
