Our Favorite Steak Recipes
Steaks in Brandy-Cream Sauce [1]
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.
Stuffed Beef Tenderloin Filet [5]
Cheese, bacon and mushrooms create a mouthwatering beef main dish from White Gull Inn in Fish Creek, Wisconsin. "Wisconsin produces great beef," innkeeper Andy Coulson says. "The only way to improve upon a broiled tenderloin is to stuff it with onions and Wisconsin cheddar."
Sweet-Pepper Steak [9]
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.

Cherry-Marinated Beef with Roquefort Polenta and Corn Salsa [13]
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.

Genuine Java Tenderloin [17]
Ground coffee, cocoa and cinnamon coat beef tenderloin in this special dish from Sidney Street Cafe in St. Louis. Short on time? Prepare the meat without the sauce and vegetables.
Top Sirloin with Caramelized Onion-and-Mushroom Trio [21]
We took an old favorite, steak with mushroom sauce, and boosted its flavor and colors. Caramelized sweet onions add to a medley of mushrooms: meaty shiitake, robust oyster mushrooms and the more familiar button mushrooms.
Unbelievable Les Bourgeois Beef [25]
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.
Montana Broil [29]
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.

Stagecoach Steak [33]
Top this smoked rib-eye steak with tangy Roma Tomato Jam (directions at end of recipe) and serve with tangy Horseradish Dream Potatoes. The meal is from Hubbell House in Mantorville, Minnesota.

Herb-Marinated Beef Tenderloin [38]
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.
For a grand finale to your meal, try Cream Torte with Espresso Sauce from Spiaggia in Chicago, made with mascarpone, a triple cream cheese you can buy at specialty Italian food shops or larger supermarkets.
London Broil with Marsala Sauce [43]
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.

Prepare this hearty main dish even faster by using prepared ingredients such as purchased steak seasoning and presliced mushrooms. Easy Roasted Red Potatoes make a quick and flavorful side dish.
Cracked-Pepper Steak with Yogurt-Lime Sauce [54]
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.

Peppery Grilled Steak With Tomatoes [59]
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.
Bacon-Wrapped Bison Ribeyes [64]
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.
Basil-Stuffed Steak [68]
The recipe for this thick, herb-infused sirloin steak comes from a Hutchinson, Kansas, reader. She won a prize in Wichita's Kansas Beef Cook-off with this meal.

Peppery T-Bones and Chili Corn [72]
Serve this grilled steak-and-corn-on-the-cob duo with your favorite warm or cold potato salad.
Flint Hills Beef Salad [76]
This recipe comes from a reader who lives on a farm in the Flint Hills region of Kansas, where beef is king. She tosses her favorite meat with salad greens, bacon, sweet peppers, broccoli and cauliflower for a hearty main-dish salad.
