29 Steak Enthusiast Ways to Celebrate Leap Year

This year is Leap Year! It’s fun to have an extra day in February. It’s like getting a bonus day in your life.

So what will you do with that extra day? I’ve got some thoughts. Allow me to present some ways to celebrate this special year – Steak Enthusiast style.

1. Expand your horizons and try new cuts of steak. Ever tried a Porterhouse? You have an extra day to do so!
2. Try some steak recipes you’ve never cooked before. Go wild!
3. Still snowing where you live? Grill some steaks in the snow!
4. Buy some new dinnerware. It livens up your table.
5. Pretend it’s a summer cookout – even if it’s 25 degrees out. Wear a straw hat and shorts. Make some fruity drinks. You can stay inside, just dress the part!
6. Invite the neighbors over.
7. Invite someone new, too.
8. Don’t want to wear a straw hat? Get out the nice china.
