Steak isn’t just for Father’s Day. In fact, beef can easily be transformed into a delicious breakfast, lunch, or dinner for mom to enjoy too. If you’re looking for an unexpected way to change up your usual weekend Mother’s Day spread, give one of these delicious steak recipes a try. We included suggestions for a variety of cuts of our grass-fed and finished beef, including rib-eye, strip, sirloin, skirt steak, and more. Just choose mom’s favorite, order, and get cooking!
Strip Steak
Steak Salad With Za’atar Chimichurri
This robust salad truly makes a lovely addition to any late lunch or evening dinner menu. To put the salad together, Molly uses za’atar in two ways: first as the core ingredient for her homemade chimichurri topping, and then again to flavor the shallots and peas she tosses in with her arugula and baby spinach mixture. The end result is a tangy dish that’s sure to surprise and delight mom.
Sirloin Steak
If your usual Mother’s Day routine includes putting together a big brunch spread for mom, this quick and easy Steak and Eggs recipe is a nice way to stick to that tradition. A one-pound sirloin steak is the star of the show here; you’ll begin by searing it in a skillet first, then you’ll finish it off in the oven. It’s the perfect savory counterpart to pair alongside sweeter-tasting brunch options, like this Dutch Baby or this Pancake Cake with Berries.
Skirt Steak
15-Minute Stir-Fried Steak Tacos
We want you to spend as much time as possible with your mom this Mother’s Day. Putting together these Stir-Fried Steak Tacos will help you do just that, since you’ll only need to spend 15 minutes in the kitchen making them! The handheld bites are stuffed full of tender strips of skirt steak that you’ll rub with a fragrant mixture of chili powder, oregano, and sugar. To give mom the ultimate "just for you" experience, set up a toppings bar with all her favorite taco fixings too.
Rib-Eye Steak
Cooking a steak dinner from scratch doesn’t need to take you hours in order for it to impress your mom. Case in point: This 20-minute sheet pan version from Ree Drummond. Using the broiler will help your rib-eye steaks develop a stunning restaurant-quality crust on the outside, while keeping them adequately juicy on the inside. Ree serves hers with a spread of caramelized bell peppers and cherry tomatoes, but feel free to pair yours with whatever mom’s all-time favorite veggie or potato side dish might be!
Flank Steak
Giddy-Up Steak with Onion-Date Compote
If your mother, stepmother, sister, aunt, grandma, or mother-in-law loves recipes that are loaded up with both sweet and savory elements, we suggest giving this "giddied-up" flank steak recipe from Aarti Sequeira a try. To give the steak multiple layers of flavor, Aarti covers it in a punchy marinade made from chili powder, ground coffee, brown sugar, garam masala, and ground coriander. She also pairs the juicy meat with a sweet, almost jelly-like compote made from beautifully caramelized onions and minced dates.
Okay gentlemen, Don't say I never gave you anything. Now go make ma happy!
