Bourbon and Brown Sugar Flank Steak with Garlic-Chive Mashed Potatoes:
Pork tenderloin will also work in this recipe.
Steak:
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup minced green onions
1/4 cup bourbon
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 (2-pound) flank steak, trimmed
Cooking spray
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
Potatoes:
3 pounds small red potatoes
6 garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/3 cup 2% reduced-fat milk
2 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
Garnish:
8 fresh chives, cut into 1-inch pieces
To prepare steak, combine first 7 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag; add steak. Seal and marinate in refrigerator 8 hours or overnight, turning bag occasionally. Remove steak from bag, reserving marinade.
Prepare grill.
Place steak on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 5 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Let stand 10 minutes. Cut diagonally across grain into thin slices.
Combine reserved marinade and cornstarch in a saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.
To prepare potatoes, place potatoes and garlic in a large Dutch oven; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 30 minutes or until tender. Drain.
Return potatoes and garlic to pan, and place over medium heat. Add sour cream, milk, butter, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mash potato mixture to desired consistency with a potato masher. Stir in chopped chives. Mound 3/4 cup potatoes on each of 8 plates; arrange 3 ounces steak around each serving of potatoes. Drizzle 1 tablespoon sauce on each plate; sprinkle with chive pieces, if desired.
Yield: 8 servings

Though I have generally used this on thin slices of tenderloin that have been smashed really flat with the wide side of a cleaver, I really like the taste of 2 parts soy sauce to 2 parts Worcestershire to 1 part honey (a hand mixer helps to get the honey mixed in and not separated.) Marinate in this and brush it on while its on the grill. Also, another really simple dish is the coal-miners steak. Cover a really thick steak with black peppercorns and put it over a really high flame (I would suggest a chimney with wood chips.) This is a great taste, easy and, as I like my beef mooing, not likely to require too much time on the grill to get the seasoning(s) incorporated.

Gotta love steak! Perhaps the most "typical" American meal is steak, a green salad and a baked potato. That's hard to improve on and pretty easy to make.
I keep steak cooking as simple as possible. A bit of salt and pepper on the meat, then onto a hot grill. I like mine rare to medium rare, so I take them off when the temp gets to 120 degrees. Cover it for ten minutes with foil so the juiciness stays in the meat.
I like the taste of blue cheese with beef. Sometimes, I make a compound butter ahead of time. Mix some blue cheese with some soft butter. On foil, roll it into a "log" about 1 inch in diameter. Cool it in the fridge until it is quite firm. Serve a slice atop your steak.

This is my favorite site for any kind of beef. It is from the texas beef council. I went straight to the steaks section for you, but if you want to look up other stuff just click on the recipe book tab at the top. This site also tells you a lot of sides that you can serve with each meal. I hope this helps you and sorry about the young punk idiots that can't answer a question seriously. Happy Holidays!

I love to cook steaks but to make a good steak they must be grilled.
first coat the steak in olive oil
then use seasoning salt to taste
next use a garlic and rosemary grinder, (comercially available) through McCormick/Schilling and coat both sides.
when grill is hot 450 degrees place steak on grill
cook 1st side and flip, 2nd side only 1/3 the time of the first, don't cook each side more than once.
Bernaise sause is always a good choice if you can't grill or don't have spices
As to side dishes:
Baked potatoes with sour cream butter and chives
Garlic Mashes potatoes
Italian/French bread with olive oil/ basalimic vinegar dipping sauce
a good tossed salad
a good desert always helps out any dinner!

Try a "flat iron steak" if you can't find ask your grocer to get them. They were developed at my alma mater wih the help of university of Fla.
The beef cut is actually a top blade steak derived from the tender top blade roast. The roast is separated into two pieces by cutting horizontally through the center to remove the heavy connective tissue.
Blue Cheese Marinated Grilled Flat Iron Steak
3 lbs flat iron steaks
½ cup olive oil
½ cup Worcestershire sauce
1 cup balsamic vinegar
½ cup Fresh Blue Cheese
Combine all, except flat irons and blend well with hand blender. Season with salt and white pepper.
Marinate flat irons 2-4 hours. Remove flat irons and wipe off any excess marinade. Grill to desired doneness (rare to medium is recommended). I like mine mid-rare.
Slice thin going against the grain and serve with Blue Cheese crème fraiche.
Blue Cheese Crème Fraiche (1 ½ cups)
1 cup crème fraiche (or sour cream)
2 tablespoons heavy cream
½ cup fresh blue cheese
Salt and white pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients and blend well with hand blender. Season with salt and white pepper.
6 servings

I use x virg green olive oil ,sweet vermouth, fresh cracked pepper and sea salt on my steaks before grilling them. Hickory chips on top of the coals finishes the flavor perfectly. The flavors are simple but sooooo good, you'll love it. You can try grilling some belgian ( white) endive leaves or asparagus on the grill, ( add salt, pepper,x virg green olive oil first). I also add pre- boiled , sliced yams . They carmelize nicely if you give them a quick spray of oil first before tossing them on the grill.
