Name: Beef Steak Dippables
Yield: 2
Ingredients: 2 Strip Loin or Tenderloin Grilling Steaks, 1-inch thick; Coarse salt and pepper; 3 tbsp (45 mL) olive oil; 3 tbsp (45 mL) minced fresh herb leaves (predominantly mild herbs such as chives and parsley and some stronger herb leaves like rosemary or sage); Anchovy or miso paste; Lemon wedge; Marinated mushrooms, roasted peppers, chunks of feta or blue cheese, pitted olives or large capers(optional)

This recipe is a bit like a summer version of fondue — serving steak like this as a nibbler is a great way to make it stretch! Steak can be grilled ahead, cutting into cubes when you’re ready to serve. NOTE: Canadiana and Bombay Dips also work well as a marinade for Beef Kabobs.
