7 Easy Ways To Add Flavor To Your Steak

A good steak dinner can be a game changer! Here are 7 fun, easy, and flavorful ways to add some variety to your favorite cut of beef.

I’m definitely a steak purist (no A-1 for this girl) and love a simple grilled or cast iron seared steak, seasoned with salt and a little pepper and maybe a pad of butter.

While there is nothing wrong with allowing the steak cut to shine, sometimes you may want to switch things up (or find a way to elevate a cheaper, leaner steaks flavor). Here are 6 of my favorite ways to liven up steak night with ease, all while making it still feel gourmet.
