i know that mustard is a nice ingredient with an Italian chimichurri.
as for mash and gravy, that’s always fun with any protein.

A good steak should be eaten without anything else, with the exception of maybe a bit of mustard.
even Ruth’s Chris and Fleming’s USA steakhouses serve a steak topped with butter.
I marinate with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then grill it. I’ll serve it with a ramekin with Italian chimichurri sauce but I won’t always use it with mine. I always like it. I’m referring to the strip steaks at $5.99 sale price at Safeway.
