We all have our favorite garnishes, sauces and the like when it comes to beef.

Our friends at Shortlist have put together a list of “The 10 Best Accompaniments to Beef” – and there’s not a bottle of A1 in sight.

Granted, they are British, and tastes are just slightly different from the States. But I’ll have to go with them here. These are all pretty tasty.

And I never liked A1 anyway. But YOU be the judge. What do you think of these beef accompaniments?

Maybe you’ll find the perfect meal for this weekend among them. Check them out here!

Get ready to welcome 2012!

To me, the best way to celebrate ANYTHING is with a steak. In fact, that’s what I will be doing Saturday night.

In this great article by the great Wolfgang Puck he refers to the strip steak as “beef’s equivalent to the tuxedo, clean-lined and elegant.”

THAT, he says, is the way to ring in the new year.

And I couldn’t agree more.

Click here to read Puck’s descriptive tale of the beautiful strip and take special note of his recipe for roasted strip steak with port wine mustard sauce.

Any time you can get your hands on a Wolfgang Puck recipe, you know it’s going to be good!

Have a wonderful new year celebration and I’ll catch you again in 2012 — after you’ve enjoyed an AMAZING strip steak!
