Steak and Tomato Panzanella
We use the broiler to keep this vibrant summer salad speedy, but if you already have the grill cranked up, this dish easily transitions to an outdoor entrée.

California Steak Salad
This salad is ideal for cold grilled steak, as reheating may overcook the meat or cause the basil and arugula to wilt. Grilling the red onion adds another layer of char and a bit of sweetness to counter the tartness of the vinaigrette.

Carne Asada Steak Sandwiches
Time: 40 minutes
Flavor Hit: Chipotle chile powder has a smoky, earthy profile and isn't as hot as ground red pepper.

Flank Steak Panzanella Salad
This salad is even better at room temperature once the bread has absorbed some of the dressing. Swap the steak for chicken or shrimp, or omit for a side salad.

Steak & Mushroom Pizza-Dillas
When stuffed tortillas are bound with gooey mozzarella and dunked into warm marinara, you end up with a pizza-quesadilla hybrid, or a pizza-dilla. Fill the piza-dillas with shredded chicken and spinach or with zucchini and mushrooms for a vegetarian option.

Peruvian Steak and Roasted Sweet Potato Bowl
A little meat travels far since there's no center stage in a bowl. Here, a few ounces of Peruvian steak works wonders on top. Season well, and shred or finely chop to get a little in each bite.Â

Beef Teriyaki Crisps with Wasabi Mayonnaise
These fun bites pair soy- and ginger-marinated flank steak with creamy wasabi mayo and super-crisp rice crackers. You can prepare the mayonnaise mixture and cook the steak up to a day in advance of your gathering. Wrap the steak, still whole, in plastic wrap, and refrigerate. There's no need to reheat it; just slice the steak about an hour ahead, and leave at room temperature. Assemble the crisps about 30 minutes before guests arrive. If you can’t find rice crackers on the cracker aisle of your grocery store, look in the Asian foods section; in a pinch, you can substitute baguette slices.

Mayonnaise, Worcestershire, and whole-grain mustard combine for a tangy, slightly smoky sandwich spread. Arugula is a peppery salad green. Substitute your favorite lettuce, if you like.

Steak Baguettes with Pesto Mayo
Piled high with steak and veggies, the real treat on this sandwich is the sauce, a pesto mayonnaise. Use sirloin for a more tender bite than you get with cuts like flank steak.

Steak Tips with Peppered Mushroom Gravy
Briefly cooking the gravy with thyme sprigs saves the time of stripping the tiny leaves from the stem, but still gives you the herb’s woodsy flavor. Serve this rich and hearty beef mixture on a bed of egg noodles and you will find that this comforting meal is just the thing you had in mind.
