Midwest Living's Editorial Guidelines Updated on March 23, 2021 Trending Videos Photo: Brie Passano A steak menu makes any dinner special. These 18 sizzling main dishes are easy to make and impressive to serve. 01 of 18 Grilled Flank Steak with Pepper Relish Brie Passano It's all about the relish. Use a mix of colored peppers for this almost-fruity condiment that is equally good with fish, chicken and pork. View Recipe 02 of 18 Grilled Steak Fajitas Skirt steak, which is similar to flank, tastes best medium-rare, so pull it off the grill when it reaches 135°. (The temp will rise a few degrees more as the steak rests.) View Recipe 03 of 18 Flank Steak with Carrot Top Salsa Verde Italian salsa verde-no relation to the Mexican one-is a classic herb sauce made with parsley, garlic and capers. Our version includes carrot tops, too. The bold, tangy flavor is a perfect match for steak (or any protein or roasted vegetable). View Recipe 04 of 18 Smyth Steak Sandwiches Crumbled blue cheese adds salty punch to Smyth Steak Sandwiches at The Iron Horse Hotel in Milwaukee. View Recipe 05 of 18 Cracked-Pepper Steak with Yogurt-Lime Sauce A sprinkling of pepper adds a boost to flank steak, while a cool yogurt topper tames the heat. Cooked vegetables and Lemon Couscous round out the meal. 06 of 18 Peppery Grilled Steak With Tomatoes Our steak's peppery rub and a topping of juicy tomatoes make a colorful and flavorful main dish. Serve with a baked sweet potato or our Grilled Sweet Potato Wedges. View Recipe 07 of 18 Stuffed Beef Tenderloin Filet At the White Gull Inn in Fish Creek, Wisconsin, cheddar and mushrooms flavor indulgent steaks. View Recipe 08 of 18 Peppery T-Bones and Chili Corn Serve this grilled steak-and-corn-on-the-cob duo with your favorite warm or cold potato salad. View Recipe 09 of 18 Cherry-Marinated Beef with Roquefort Polenta and Corn Salsa Cherry juice concentrate gives the beef a nice "char" when grilled. This recipe comes from the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa near Traverse City, Michigan. View Recipe 10 of 18 Genuine Java Tenderloin Ground coffee, cocoa and cinnamon coat beef tenderloin in this dish from a St. Louis restaurant. Short on time? Prepare the meat without the sauce and vegetables. View Recipe 11 of 18 Unbelievable Les Bourgeois Beef You can almost forget your knife when eating this tender beef draped with rich cream-and-wine sauce. The recipe comes from Les Bourgeois Vineyards in Rocheport, Missouri. View Recipe 12 of 18 Montana Broil At Camp Ticonderoga in Troy, Michigan, the cathedral ceiling, cobblestone fireplaces and wood floors remind visitors of an early 1900s Adirondack lodge. The restaurant offers game dishes alongside more standard items. Ticonderoga made this Montana Broil dish with buffalo flank steak; we substituted the more common beef flank steak. View Recipe 13 of 18 Bacon-Wrapped Bison Ribeyes This bison specialty is a popular choice at Fire Lake Grill House and Cocktail Bar in downtown Minneapolis. Bison meat is redder than its beef counterpart, with a flavor similar to lean beef. You can use beef tenderloin if you prefer. View Recipe 14 of 18 Sweet-Pepper Steak A rainbow of sweet peppers tops juicy, inch-thick steaks. The recipe comes from The Clarmont restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, which has been serving steaks since 1947. If you prefer a smaller serving of meat, halve each steak crosswise to make two portions. View Recipe 15 of 18 Herb-Marinated Beef Tenderloin A homemade oil-and-vinegar marinade tops both peppery beef and warm potato salad in this dish from The Ritz-Carlton in Chicago. Baked stuffed zucchini accompanies the steak. View Recipe 16 of 18 Peppery Beef with Mushrooms Prepare this hearty main dish even faster by using prepared ingredients such as purchased steak seasoning and presliced mushrooms. Roasted red potatoes make a quick and flavorful side dish. View Recipe 17 of 18 Steaks in Brandy-Cream Sauce At the Grant Street Bar and Grill in Peru, Indiana, the chef flames the brandy before stirring it in this mushroom-cream sauce. Our recipe tells you how to make the sauce both with and without flaming! Either way, you'll get a rich sauce for thick, tender sauteed beef. View Recipe 18 of 18 London Broil with Marsala Sauce Marinate beef flank steaks in a teriyaki-orange mixture before broiling. We served our London broil with sides of Herbed Baby Carrots and Two-Rice Pilaf. View Recipe Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why! Other Submit
