Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover Garlic Butter Steak Penne in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of broth or butter to keep the pasta moist. Avoid overcooking the steak during reheating to maintain tenderness.
