Beefsteak and Oysters

The beurre manié (butter-flour mixture) can be prepared up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated in an airtight container. The oysters should not be cooked ahead, as reheating will toughen them. The steak must be broiled immediately before serving for optimal texture.

This dish is best served immediately and does not store well. Leftover oyster sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 day, but reheating will overcook the oysters and make them tough. Leftover steak can be stored separately for up to 3 days and served cold or at room temperature; do not reheat with the sauce.
