Steak Toppers

Here are a few of our favorite steak toppers if you are looking to jazz up your steak with some additional flavors. 

Pat of Butter- a must while the steak rests before serving

Garlic butter- make your own of course!  Use fresh minced garlic for best flavor.

Blue Cheese crumbles-  adds a wonderful complimentary flavor

Sauteed Mushrooms-  slice and sautee in butter or olive oil

Sauteed Onions- slice onions and sautéed in butter until lightly carmelized

Lump Meat Crab-  Warm backfin lump crab in butter.  Phillips Seafood makes a wonderful pasteurized lump crab in a can.  Closest to fresh as you can get—find at Costco in the refrigerated section, make sure you buy the lump meat,not backfin or claw.

 

These are our favorites—there are many others that range from salsa to fruits, other cheeses, butters & herbs. 

Whatever your topper make sure that you allow your steak to rest after grilling.  Meat tightens up during the cooking process—serving immediately would be a disservice to the meat and to the one eating it.  By allowing the meat to “rest” for 3-5 minutes juices will return to the center of the meat and the meat will relax making for a more tender bite.
