Special Precautions and Tips:
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the doneness of the beef by inserting a knife into the center. If the juices run clear, the beef is cooked.
- Let the beef rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and juicy steak.
