Notes

For the best results, ensure your steak is at room temperature before cooking to promote even cooking. You’ll also want to let the steak rest after cooking to retain its juices, making it more tender and flavorful.

Try toasting the almonds lightly to enhance their crunch and nutty flavor and feel free to adjust the quantity of berries or nuts according to your taste.

Serve this dish with a side of crusty homemade bread or your favorite fruit smoothie for a yummy and satisfying meal!
