Steak recipes are a go-to for celebratory meals. No matter the occasion — birthday, anniversary, promotion — nothing says, "congratulations" quite like a big steak dinner. But this super versatile protein is not just reserved for fancy steakhouses! Easy steak recipes can also make your favorite cut the star of sandwiches, tacos, salads, and kebabs.
Easy steak recipes are totally doable for weeknight meals, too, and while we love our staple proteins like chicken and salmon, steak is often worth a little splurge. We have collected our favorite steak recipes for every type of cut, so whether you're shopping for leaner cuts like flank, sirloin, and skirt steaks, buying the butcher's manager special or splurging on a filet mignon, there's something for you. Grilled steak recipes are also always a must in the summer, so take advantage of the nice weather and fire up that grill!
Simple meals like oven steak recipes are a great way to elevate your weeknight dinners, but serving steak doesn't have to mean you're stuck with mashed potatoes and green beans as sides. We brainstormed delicious (nutritious!) steak dinner sides that complement this protein, including grilled watermelon salad, charred zucchini and pineapple, and sautéed bok choy.
Scroll through to find steak recipes ideas the whole family will enjoy for your next weeknight meal.
