15 Steak Recipes That Make Any Summer Dinner a Celebration

Every year growing up, my single birthday wish was to dig into a big rare steak, my absolute favorite food. It quickly became a tradition for my family, and we would go out or grill in in honor of my turning one year older. Once I moved out, the tradition didn’t stop, and it’s something I still find myself craving and turning to as my birthday comes around each year.

For me, steaks and birthday celebrations are nearly synonymous, but that doesn’t mean I only eat steak as a celebration. A big steak hot from the grill on a summer weekend, eaten with my dad for Father’s Day, sliced up with friends and served in corn tortillas—a great steak can do it all.

Below, I’ve gathered up 15 of our best steak recipes featuring all of the most popular cuts, from strip steak to ribeye, skirt and flank steak to tri-tip. Whether you make them on the grill or in your kitchen, for a celebration or just another beautiful day of life, these recipes are a treat, so enjoy!
