Really good steak
Whether you opt for classic combinations, like steak and red wine sauce, or you try something totally new, a good and high-quality steak is the key to a good steak-based meal!
Try out a classic rib-eye steak with garlic and green herbs, or perhaps an onglet steak with mustard sauce, or even a porterhouse steak seared to perfection. Whatever you decide, the quality of your meat is sure to impress your guests!
Veal and classic flavourings
If you want to opt for a red-meat meal with a slightly more interesting or alternative flavour, you could try out a veal-based recipe. As the moister and more delicate answer to beef steak, veal is a great option for those occasions when you’re looking to surprise your dinner guests.
Try pairing it with garlic, lemon and green herbs for a classic finish, or throw a wildcard and add it to a spicy and fiery stew.
Try something different
With options like goat meat starting to increase in popularity here, it might be time to introduce your guests to it! You could try a goat meat stew or a goat meat curry to impress your dinner guests.
As a tender meat, goat meat is slightly sweet and can sometimes taste a bit gamey. It is a very versatile meat and stands well with strong flavours.
Try new and exciting beef recipes
With a whole range of Aberdeen Angus beef out there, there are tons of exciting recipes you could try out. From beef stroganoff and steak and ale pie to marinated or glazed beef and exciting pot roasts, the world is your oyster when it comes to jazzing up beef.
Opting for high-quality beef means that you’ll have a good base to take on flavour and offer tender and indulgent mouthfuls with every bite. Try buying locally sourced beef from small suppliers to ensure you’re doing your part for the environment and choosing better tasting beef!
Try something spicy
From the exciting goat curry we discussed earlier to spicy merguez sausages and pasta, creating a fiery, aromatic and spicy dish to tantalise your guests tastebuds is a great way to impress even the most discerning of dinner guests.
Try using new and interesting flavour combinations and consult recipes from other cultures traditions to find exciting and unheard-of recipes to impress your guests. You could look for fresh herbs at your local farmers market and indulge in a high-quality meat base to ensure all of the flavour is preserved.
Conclusion
Impressing your dinner guests may seem like an impossible feat but it can certainly be achieved.
