Steak

Roasted potatoes are pretty delicious all by themselves. But they're even better when you douse them with spicy mayo and a shower of bonito flakes.

The vinegared shallots and fresh herbs cut through the richness of the steak.

Smoky, sweet, crusty, and beefy, with charred bones to gnaw on: If this isn't a perfect steak, we don't know what is.

There's nothing quite like perfect summer tomatoes or steak hot off the grill. Combine the two and be sure there's plenty of bread around—the sauce at the bottom of the plate is liquid gold.

Blitzing your marinade in a food processor will give you the most flavor with the least effort. This thick paste thins into a vibrant steak sauce as the meat cooks.

Radishes make a crunchy salsa for these–or any other taco you're serving this summer.

Not in a carnivorous mood? Just opt for large peeled shrimp instead of beef and cut the cooking time by a couple of minutes.

The rich and beefy flatiron is also known as a top blade steak, but you can use any cut.

All the flavors of a steak sandwich on rye, but in salad form.

We're hooked on the juicy and crunchy textures and sweet and spicy flavors in this steak and salad pairing.

Here's how to time this: Have the salad and onion ring components ready before you cook the steak and the sauce, then keep the sauce warm while you fry the onions. Toss the salad at the last moment.

Koreans celebrate the first one hundred days of life, so for my son, Hudson's, hundredth-day party, we had a bash with lots of Korean food. The next day, with my taste buds toned and thinking of the great Korean tacos I've devoured at food trucks in Los Angeles, I created this version. The marinade for the steak is to die for. I guarantee you'll want to try it with Korean-style short ribs, pork tenderloin, and grilled chicken. A little planning and prep a day ahead is a great way to save time on hurried weeknights. This steak gets even better with an overnight marinade, so you could marinate it on Monday, and it's ready to grill on Tuesday night. If you're doing it all on the same night, use the marinating time to multitask—prep your vegetables and whip up the guacamole. You'll be surprised how quickly it comes together.

An easy fancy meal with a bonus: Mushrooms and tomato may fight cancer.
