How to Store Leftovers
If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm the steak in a skillet over medium heat until heated through.
Food and Drink Pairings
Pair your succulent ribeye steak with a bold red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Malbec, to complement its rich flavor. For sides, consider serving roasted potatoes, sautéed mushrooms, or a crisp green salad for a well-rounded meal.
