Favorite Steak Toppings/Sauces . .

MCG DAWG

. . I'm a big fan of just a little EVOO, salt, and fresh ground pepper on my steaks. However, sometimes I like to try something on top of them like you see in a lot of restaurants. What are y'all's favorite sauces/toppings. [p]May try one out on the filet I'm cooking on the egg tonight.[p]

MCG DAWG,[p]If you are cooking filets, try som blue cheese (either in a pocket, or just on top durring the dewll).[p]Smokey

MCG DAWG,
a little blue cheese goes a long way on a steak. We fix a mushroom sauce with a product called Andrea's steak sauce. French fried onions go well on a steak. DP's Raising the steaks was the best steak rub i've ever used. Good luck, Tom

MCG DAWG,
I rarely put anything on the cooked steak, except salt, unless it is a rare occasion when I cook inside and make a pan sauce with something like wine, shallots and butter.[p]I have read lots of recipes for "compound butter" (basically butter mixed with things to flavor it), that sound great, but I never take the time to make. [p]The point of all that is that you may want to search for compound butter and see what comes up.

You can make a compound butter out of darn near anything. On steaks, my fave is a little gorgonzola cheese and parsley. Also try chipotle chiles and lime zest with a little cilantro- yum! Just soften the butter a bit on the counter, than mash together with you ingredients of choice. Roll into a log in parchment or plastic wrap, chill, and slice off bits of goodness to melt onto whatever your heart desires. The other week I made some using preserved lemons, garlic, and parsley (sort of an italian gremolata) and served on spatchcocked chicken, which was a hit.[p]Another favorite for steaks is chimichurri, a sort or pesto-like steak sauce from Argentina. The herb base is usually parsley, though I occasionally throw in a little cilantro, mint, or basil. Like barbeque sauces, there are probably as many recipes as cooks in Argentina.[p]A basic chimichurri:
1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
8 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup sherry wine vinegar
3 tablespoons lemon juice plus 1 T zest
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

<p />MCG DAWG,
over the counter i like the peter lugers steak sauce, but mostly i like good steak plain with salt and pepper. sometimes i make a sauce with the drippings with butter onions parsely mushrooms etc, sometimes adding in some worcestershire sauce, ground mustard, thyme, sage, wine, etc. whatever i have in stock. either put it on the steak after cooking or during the roasting step of the trex method. i do this with cheaper cuts

MCG DAWG,
I am one of the lucky few who have been able to purchase DP's new Raising The Steaks rub in the regular size container - not just a sample package. I previously only used kosher salt and pepper, but you gotta trust me on this - that new rub will knock your socks off. Yesterday I WOWED some company using it on hamburgers! One last thought about steaks - I always have some clarified butter to glisten my steaks with that look and taste too.

Carolina Caniac,
That looks like a great recipe and I have it recorded![p]From my perspective, it is important to emphasize the word "chopped" for the parsley. You really do not want this to be like a pesto sauce.[p]The thing to remember is that Chimichuri is good on almost everything! Seriously -- try a bit on a nice crusty bread or spread on fish filets and grill skin side down. WONDERFUL stuff.[p]

<p />MCG DAWG,[p]1. I like to saute onions, mushrooms, garlic, fresh dill and crushed red pepper flakes in butter.[p]2. I also like Blue cheese and panko bread crumbs mixed then roasted on top of the steak in the egg until just browned.[p]

RRP,[p]You lucky dog!! I had a sample sized pak a few months ago - it is awesome in meatloaf!
I can't wait to get my hands on a full size jar (well probably a few of 'em) of RTS and Shakin' the Tree.

RRP,
chris included some on a shipment to our place, and we loved it.[p]there was a tiny portion left over, which i saw one night as we were preparing steaks. i greedily kept it aside for myself, for a leter date, if i found myself some other time having steak alone.[p]as we're sitting there with the kids eating, i look up and see my wife sprinkling it onto her steak. i shot her a W/T/F? look, and she shrugged and smiled.[p]dammit. tried to be nice, and lookit what happint
