Steak is always a celebratory food, but it's served most often in the summer, cooked on the grill. Break with tradition this year and serve a tender, juicy steak for a simpler Christmas dinner. A fabulous holiday appetizer, rich potato side dish, and a spectacular but easy banana pie round out the menu.
Steak Christmas Menu
- Brie with Cherry Chutney
If you're serving fewer than 8 people, cut this recipe in half. It's gorgeous and the cherry sauce must be made ahead of time.
- Grilled Steak with Herb Butter
This is my favorite steak recipe of all time! Choose ribeye steaks or filet mignon if you can afford it. Otherwise, any other cut, marinated in a bit of red wine vinegar and olive oil for about 4-6 hours (in the fridge!) will be fabulous.
- Creamy Potato Bake
This luscious casserole is perfect for a celebration dinner. Again, you can cut it in half with ease. Bake for the same amount of time, but use a smaller pan.
- Carrot Pineapple Salad
Gelatin salads are not only ideal for entertaining, but they're great for breakfast the next morning! This easy salad recipe is from my Grandmother Matha.
- Caramel Banana Cream Pie
Even I, an avowed banana hater, love this pie. It's truly spectacular, and a perfect finish to your meal.
