30 Best Steak Dinner Recipes That'll Hit the Spot

In the Drummond household, steak isn't just a recipe; it's a lifestyle. "My beloved’s grilled beef tenderloins are legendary," Ree says of Ladd's personal favorite recipe. "And he fixes them two or three times a year, whenever we have a gathering of friends or a special family occasion."

It should come as no surprise, then, that if you're looking for equally special steak dinner ideas (including Ladd's own recipe!), you've come to the right place. While steak can get pricey, it really is the ultimate treat for an out-of-the-ordinary celebration at home (say, a romantic Valentine's Day dinner or date night). It's the "treat beyond all treats," as Ree puts it. Then again, not all cuts are expensive: A flank steak, for instance, can be had for a much lower price tag, making it perfect for a Sunday night dinner with the family.

Luckily for you, the recipes here run the gamut—so there's no need to decide whether you're in the mood to splurge just yet. Opt for a juicy filet topped with bacon and compound butter, pair your cut with mushrooms, crispy hash browns, or an herb-filled sauce, or stick to the basics with a quick marinade and an Instant Pot-approved side. It's all here for the taking.
