When the temps finally peaked into the 70s, I called up some friends, fired up the grill and did just that! I designed a fun little do-it-yourself steak station and let my guests go to town.

It made for a perfect stress free dinner party shared with great company and good food!<\/p>\n<h2>How to Make a Great Steak Topping Station<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-15545\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/omaha-steaks-0570-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"omaha-steaks-0570\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t worry about coming up with a great steak dinner. A great steak stands alone as the star of the show. But, these fun little tips make for great toppings and get your company involved.<\/p>\n<p>Season the steaks with salt and pepper and grill &#8211; remember those filets are thick and are going to take a few minutes longer than the strip steaks. While the steaks are cooking, have your guests create their own kabobs.<\/p>\n<p>Arrange kabobs out with fresh <em>mushrooms<\/em>, <em>peppers<\/em>, <em>onions<\/em>, <em>asparagus<\/em>, and <em>tomatoes <\/em>for guests to pick and choose which they would like as their own toppings. Grill these along side the steaks for the last 3 to 5 minutes, flipping once halfway through.<\/p>\n<p>Polish the steaks off with a dollop of <strong>herb butter<\/strong>. Let<em> 8 tablespoons<\/em> of unsalted butter come to room temperature. Finely mince a combination of <em>herbs, (rosemary, chives, thyme, or parsley<\/em> are great!) and whip the herbs, <em>\u00bc teaspoon smoked salt<\/em>, and the butter together. Wrap in plastic wrap and form into a log. Place in fridge to set. When ready to serve, let the butter sit out for 20 minutes before the steaks are done. Slice off small portions to top each steak in style. The melting butter glazes the steak in style while adding the wonderful rich flavor from the fresh herbs.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-15546\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/omaha-steaks-0575-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"omaha-steaks-0575\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Have your guests pitch in and bring a side dish. It\u2019s less stress for you and makes everyone feel like they contributed.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, have a few fresh light beers or summer mocktails on hand for everyone to enjoy while you share your great meal together!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; show_divider=&#8221;off&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/blogwp_everybody-eats-why-you-should-consider-mail-order-food-gifts-scaled-1.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;blogwp_everybody-eats-why-you-should-consider-mail-order-food-gifts-scaled&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;center&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.2&#8243; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_cta title=&#8221;Take the Guesswork Out of Gift Giving&#8221; button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/buy\/Gifts?SRC=RZ0636&#8243; button_text=&#8221;Meat Gift Baskets&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.2&#8243; use_background_color=&#8221;off&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; button_text_size__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_text_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_border_width__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_border_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_border_radius__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_bg_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]You&#8217;re sure to find delicious meat gift baskets that they&#8217;ll love.[\/et_pb_cta][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can you smell that?
