We all love a steak on the grill. But have you tried other ways?

Pan frying? Oven roasting?

Sometimes it’s fun to step outside the box and try something new.

Especially when it’s raining. Or 40 degrees below zero outside.

Here are some ways you might consider cooking the next time you’ve got a super duper marinated T-bone ready to go.

And my favorite bonus tip from this informative article?  “Don’t just gobble up the steak the moment you start cooking it.”

What? I shouldn’t just shove it all in my mouth immediately like the Cookie Monster?

Hilarious. But sage advice. I will try it – but no promises.

Happy cooking!
