Additional Notes/Tips to Enhance the Flavor for the Recipe

For a deeper flavor, marinate the steaks with coffee and rosemary overnight.
Use dark chocolate in the mousse for an even richer taste.
If you prefer your mousse extra smooth, strain the mixture before chilling it.
For extra decadence, serve with a light drizzle of balsamic glaze on the steak.
