Fruity Salsa Toppings

Tasty Steak Toppers For a Delicious Steak Dinner

A chunky salsa is a great topper for a steak, but forget store-bought salsas. A good salsa for topping your steak recipe should be thick, chunky, and homemade. Tomato, onions, and bell peppers are popular salsa ingredients but there are lots of different salsa recipes. Adding a dollop of chunky tomato salsa to a steak gives it a Mexican touch.

Fruit adds a sweetness to steak, which works really well with the natural flavor of the meat, so add some mango, pineapple, or peach chunks to your homemade salsa and it will be amazing with the steak.

Add some fresh parsley, basil or cilantro and perhaps some lemon or lime juice. Be careful not to add too much liquid because you are making a steak topper rather than a sauce.

Butter and Cheese-Based Toppings

Steaks have been traditionally served with butter on top for a long time. Adding butter to a steak gives the meat a creamy, moist glaze, which still lets the flavor of the meat, as well as your chosen steak marinade recipe, shine through.

You might like to add some crushed garlic and green onions to the butter before using it to top the steak. Use softened butter rather than melted butter for the best results.

The butter will melt when it comes into contact with the hot meat, soaking into the steak and flavoring it all over. Use any seasonings you like with the butter, to add more taste. You might like to add herbs or spices.

Cheese makes a nice topper for steak recipes too. Blue cheese adds a gourmet touch but you can also try feta, gorgonzola or another crumbly cheese. Stir in some onion and garlic to give it more flavor. Sauteed mushrooms are another great way to add taste to your marinated steak recipes and you can saute the mushrooms in garlic if you like.

What about combining sauteed garlic mushrooms with crumbled goat cheese or blue cheese for a really tasty steak? Your guests will be really impressed with such a recipe.

Adding a delicious steak topper is the perfect way to make the most of your marinated steak recipes. Combining a great steak marinade recipe with a tasty steak topper makes an impressive dinner and the best thing is that steak marinades and toppers are so simple to prepare.

BEEF BOURGUIGNONNE

Steak Recipe

1 lb boneless beef roast, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
2 tbsp canola oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/4 cups Burgandy wine
1/2 cup beef broth
1 tsp dried thyme
3/4 tsp dried marjoram
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 bay leaves
3 cups whole fresh mushrooms
4 medium carrots, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
2 cups frozen small whole onions
3 tbsp quick-cooking tapioca
1/4 cup cold water
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 slices bacon, crisp fried, crumbled
3 cups hot buttered noodles

In a large skillet heat the oil until hot. Add the beef cubes, onion, and garlic; cook until the beef is browned and onion is getting tender. Drain.

ROUND STEAK WITH ONION

2 lb beef round steak about 3/4-inch thick
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
couple dashes black pepper
2 tbsp canola oil
1 medium to large yellow onion, sliced
1 can (10 3/4-oz) condensed cream of celery soup, undiluted
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/3 cup cold water
3 tbsp flour

Trim any excess fat from the round steak and cut steak into 6 equal portions. Coat meat in the 1/4 cup of flour; pound gently with a meat mallet. Sprinkle the meat with the salt and pepper.

Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meat, on both sides, in the skillet. Remove meat from the skillet and place in slow cooker or crockpot. Discard the drippings from skillet, reserving about a tablespoonful.

Cook the onion in the reserved drippings in the skillet; stir in the celery soup, oregano, and thyme to blend well. Pour the soup mixture over the meat in the cooker. Place the cover on the cooker and cook on low setting for 8 to 10 hours.

Measure out 1 1/2 cups of the cooking liquid and place into a saucepan. Blend the cold water slowly into the 3 tablespoons of flour; stir into liquid. Cook, stirring, until thickened and bubbly. Season, if needed. Serve over the steak pieces.

In a 4-quart or larger crockpot or slow cooker layer the mushrooms, carrots, and onions. Sprinkle the tapioca over all. Place the meat mixture atop the vegetables and add the thyme, bay leaves, marjoram, salt, and pepper. Combine the Burgandy and the beef broth; pour over the meat.

Place cover on pot and cook on low for 10 to 12 hours or on high for 5 to 6 hours until meat and vegetables are tender. Discard the bay leaves then stir in the crumbled bacon. Serve over the hot buttered noodles.

Enjoy!
