Notes
- *The broiled temperature is usually between 500 to 550°F. If your oven lets you set a broiler temperature, you can set it to 550F. If your oven doesn’t have a broiler temp setting option, simply select broil.
- To store: Place the broiled filet in an airtight container for 2-3 days in the refrigerator.
- To reheat: Gently warm up the leftover in a skillet on the stovetop over medium-low heat until cooked through.
