Steak Enthusiast

Grilling time is in full swing now. How many times have you grilled burgers this season?

Well, make it feel like the first time with some new, inspiring steakburger recipes that introduce a splash of new taste to an old friend.

This Bistro Burger recipe tastes just like a great steakhouse burger. Made with Wagyu Kobe beef, it’s mixed with Dijon mustard and some other tasty surprises.

Or, try a Caprese Burger for something totally different. Melted mozzarella cheese and basil pesto? Heck yeah!

Finally, a Stuffed KC Steak House Burger is pure magic. Burgers stuffed with blue cheese, garlic and mushrooms then basted with steak sauce … just the thought makes my mouth water!

Have fun with these and other steakburger recipes in the upcoming weeks!

Celebrating Dad is a joy! The weather is great and cooking outdoors is a perfect fit for June.

A Father’s Day cookout is a celebration I can absolutely get behind!

We love this weekend where we get to say THANKS to Dad for all he does. And for us, it’s always steaks. Dad needs to be honored well and a steak is what is called for. Period.

The dads in my life unwaveringly go for a thick Kansas City strip steak. And how can you argue with that?

We’ll pair them with a nice Cabernet Sauvignon to bring out the beefy taste. Because wine makes it a special affair.

Then this year, I’m going to mix it up a little by serving delicious Twice Baked Potatoes on the side. I just pop them in the oven and all the hard work is already done for me.

And some little Molten Chocolate Cakes are the best way to end this fantastic meal. I mean, come on, a liquid chocolate center? Yes, please!

THIS is the ultimate Father’s Day cookout to us. How about you?

Afternoons spent outside get me thinking – how can I make my burger experience different?

I mean, you don’t want to just melt a piece of cheese over the top and call it a day every time. A variety of burger toppings keeps it interesting.

Fun thing is, a lot of these toppings work well on steaks, too, so let’s get creative!

Here’s a list of burger toppings I’m going to test out this summer. And not only will the toppings change, but I’ll be using Wagyu beef at times, too. It’ll be flavor combinations galore!

1. This Smoke ‘N Peppa Burger Sauce. It gives a smoky, BBQ taste to the beef that I really dig.

2. Blue Heaven Powder®. Love the kick of blue cheese? You’ll love this on your burger or steak. It’s so easy!

3. Blue Cheese Crumbles. You know, when you just HAVE to have the real thing!

What burger toppings will you be trying this summer???
