A final fox tip

While our Steak and Sprouts Skillet is served hot from the skillet, it's also delicious at room temperature, making it a great dish for meal prep. Feel free to substitute the steak with chicken or tofu for a variation. If you've got aspiring chefs at home, they can help with washing Brussels sprouts and tossing the ingredients in the skillet!
