Big Taste Small Budget – Mediterranean Steaks

PinExt Big Taste Small Budget   Mediterranean Steaks

There people who believe that a steak is best eaten in it’s natural state.  Some salt, some pepper maybe, but otherwise, don’t mess with the steak.  And I agree in certain circumstances that’s true.  But I also love combining different flavors with steak.  When done right, the steak and the topping will each add flavor to one another, rather than stand on it’s own.  That’s exactly what happens here.  The preparation is super simple for this dish, and is very similar to the Parmesan Crusted Steak HERE.  (Hey, when something works why change it?)  The topping itself was so good I have to confess that I ate more then one bite from the bowl.  The sun dried tomato pesto and the feta cheese – just wow.  I’ve been thinking of other ways to use this combination all day (stuffed mushrooms is first on my list.)  I just loved this meal – it makes you want to slow down and enjoy yourself, which is the whole reason you make a meal like this to start with.

I served these steaks with the most perfect potatoes ever – these Garlic Parmesan Oven Fries (click here).  Amazing together.
