I was just wondering if any of you out there know a good recipe for a sauce to go on steak that doesn't have cream/milk in it.

DF has a bit of a funny stomach when it comes to creams and things that are overly oily/fatty, usually in small doses he can get away with it but after eating some KFC chicken yesterday he's paying the price and has asked me to be nice to him in my cook ing><;

So, what secrets do you girls have that you wouldn't mind sharing?

after you've cooked the stake deglase it with red wine (or water) pour it into a bowl cook onion/garlic in pan untill they're light golden then pour pan juices back into the pan, cook out and if you want it thicker add in some corn flower. makes a nice gravy an if you dont want lumps just strain out the onion/garlic...
HTH

We made the pioneer woman's steak salad last night. Yummo.

Ginger Steak Salad

Steak Marinade:
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sherry
2 minced garlic cloves
2 teaspoons brown sugar

1 rib-eye, strip, or sirloin steak

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salad Dressing:
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 garlic cloves, finely diced
1 generous tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1/2 jalapeno, seeded and diced

8 ounces salad greens: baby lettuces, endive, radicchio, etc.

Combine steak marinade ingredients in a Ziploc bag. Mix and place steak into bag. Marinate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.

Combine salad dressing ingredients. Slice green onion.

When steak is finished marinating, add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a hot skillet. Cook steak about 1 1/2 minutes per side, or until medium rare. Remove from skillet and keep on a plate, allowing to cool slightly.

Toss salad greens in 3/4 of the salad dressing. Place steak on cutting board and slice thinly, then pour juices from the plate over the top. Mound tossed salad on a platter, then place sliced steak on top of salad. Pour remaining salad dressing over the top.

Sprinkle green onions over the salad, and add cherry tomatoes if that makes your skirt fly up.
