No, I don’t mean, “Hello, steak, you’re looking delicious today.” That’s a compliment.

I mean things that complement a steak – like a luscious steak butter melting on top or a mushroom garnish.

One of my favorite things to do is grill up a bunch of filet mignons and serve them with different steak butters – like roasted garlic, tomato chipotle or Tuscan herb flavors.

Everyone can choose their favorite taste!

Another delicious complement is a nice finishing salt.

Now, when my dad taught me how to grill a steak, he never said anything about finishing salts. But sprinkling on a salt flavored with rosemary or garlic gives your steak an edge that kicks your grillmaster status up a notch or two.

Then, there’s the almighty steak sauce. A perfectly blended steak sauce brings out the richness in your steaks and makes sure it’s a steak you’ll remember.

These are my favorite complements for steak. What are yours?

Maybe you’ve heard of chimichurri sauce, but doesn’t it sound more exotic to call it South American steak sauce?

I love this stuff. So spicy. So lively.

This recipe calls for us to liberally apply it to hanger steak. But you can use any cut you see fit.

After all, YOU’RE eating it!

Oh, man! Our friends at AllRecipes and FoodWishes.com have given us this great video to help us make “Beerbecue Flank Steak.”

That is, of course beer + barbecue sauce + flank steak.

A beautiful combination.

It makes the beef oh-so-tender and so, so flavorful.

I absolutely LOVE a great barbecue sauce!

Check out the video and try this yourself. It is summer, ya know!

Enjoy!
