Notes

  • Ensure steak is cooked to preferred doneness before adding.
  • Cool oat base slightly before adding toppings to maintain chewiness.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  • Refrigerate bark to maintain firmness; bring to room temp before serving.
  • Customize with nuts, seeds, or spices to suit your taste.
