If someone were to ask me what makes a steak a good steak, I would have to say one that you don’t have to drench in A1 steak sauce. This steak recipe is simple, yet super delicious and it gives the beef a memorable flavor because of the fresh herbs, citrus and garlic flavors. I would suggest pairing this steak with mashed potatoes and a green vegetable or if you’re crunched for time a salad will work well also. I love having the steakhouse experience at home because of the flavor and price savings! I recommend checking your local grocery stores weekly ads or butcher because there are ocassions when your favorite cut of steak is on sale. Personally, my favorite cuts of steak are ribeyes and NY strip so when Publix (my local grocery store) has them on sale for 8.99-9.99 a pound, I’m in frugal -millennial girl heaven. You do not have to spend $100 per person at a namebrand steakhouse to have a delicious steak, you can make it at home for much less. Enjoy this recipe and let me know what you think!
