Best Steak Dinner Recipes

Martha Stewart's Balsamic-Marinated Hanger Steak

<p>Clarkson Potter</p> — Clarkson Potter

Along with flank steak, hanger has big flavor at a lower price point than a high-end cut. It just takes a few hours of marinating to get it ready for the grill. A basic marinade like this one has three components: an acid, an oil, and seasonings. We chose balsamic vinegar for its mellow sweetness, and fresh garlic and plenty of cracked black pepper for a kick.

Grilled Sirloin with Green Beans and Shallot-Mustard Sauce

<p>Jennifer Davick</p> — Jennifer Davick

Nothing beats the taste of a juicy steak. This succulent grilled sirloin and vegetables are perfect for dinner. But remember, sirloin is lean, so it can dry out if grilled past medium rare.

Porcini-Rubbed Rib Eye Steak with Oven-Dried Tomatoes and Arugula

Chef David Burtka keeps a jar of the porcini rub on hand to make this steak. "Everyone goes crazy for it because of those layers of flavor," he says. "The earthiness of the porcini, the spice of the chile flakes and the sweetness of the sugar—it's all in there." You can find a balsamic reduction, sometimes labeled "balsamic glaze," with vinegar in the supermarket. To make your own: In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of balsamic vinegar to a boil; cook for five minutes or until syrupy and reduced by about half.

Gaucho Steak with Four-Herb Chimichurri

Guy Fieri's herbed chimichurri puts a saucy, south-of-the-border twist on seasoned skirt steak. Like the chef himself, it's one of a kind.

Slow Cooker Swiss Steak

<p>Krista Marshall</p> — Krista Marshall

I think every family has their own definition of what "Swiss Steak" is to them, but growing up, my dad would tenderize steak, roll it in flour, pan-fry it, then finish it with gravy. The Swiss-style part comes into play by essentially just rolling or pounding the meat before braising it and your slow cooker will take care of the braising for you. Plus, with all the peppers, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms and seasonings floating around in there, this Swiss Steak recipe is loaded with delicious flavor!
