A steak is the perfect choice for a celebration. It doesn't have to be expensive; buy flank or skirt steaks or even round steaks today and marinate them in an oil and vinegar dressing (in the fridge) for a day or two. They will be juicy, tender, and full of flavor.
And have fun decorating! Hang bunting on your porch, fly at least two flags, set your table in red, white, and blue, and enjoy America's birthday.
My Favorite Fourth of July Menu
- Marinated Steak
Steak cooked on the grill has a smoky, rich taste you just can't get anyway else. Serve it with some steak sauce and lots of napkins. I can taste it now! - Grilled Corn on the Cob
Corn on the cob takes on a new flavor and texture when it's grilled. The smokiness of the grill combined with the sweet and crisp corn is irresistible. - In a Hurry Potato Salad
Well, there's nothing like My Mother's Potato Salad, but when you're pressed for time, this is an excellent choice. You could add radishes and hard cooked eggs to this recipe too. - Best Berry Salad
The best berries of the season combine in a gorgeous, colorful, and flavorful salad that everyone will love. - Potato chips! Every summer holiday meal should have potato chips. No exceptions.
- Brownie Flag
What could be better than a fudgy, moist brownie? A fudgy, moist brownie decorated to look like an American flag! Let the kids frost and decorate the brownie; they'll love it!
