Honey Balsamic Marinated Skirt Steak + Fudgy Brownies Recipe

·

Steak salads will always be a top tier tomato girl summer dinner but add the BEST fudgy brownies… and we’ve got a dinner for the books! The summer salad is toss with a bunch of garden veggies, herbs, and balsamic honey marinated skirt steak for a simple grilling recipe.

Ingredients to Make Honey Balsamic Marinated Skirt Steak:

  • 1 lb. First Light Beef Skirt Steak
  • ¼ cup Steens Manuka Honey
  • ¼ cup Lewis Road Creamery Butter, melted, or Olive Oil
  • ¼ cup Traditional Balsamic
  • 2-3 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • ¼ cup Fresh Basil, chopped
  • 1 tsp. EACH: Salt, Black Pepper

How to Make a Steak Salad:

After you've marinated and grilled/cooked the steak, while it rests, you can prep the salad. The options for salad toppings are endless when you have a good meat and salad base such as spinach, arugula, or spring mix. In the winter season, kale makes incredible steak salads too.

A few steak salad topping options:

  • Sliced Avocado
  • Goat Cheese
  • Pickled Onions
  • Sliced Peaches, grilled or regular
  • Ripe Figs, sliced
  • Cherry Tomatoes, halved
  • Cucamelons, halved

I made these brownies the day before I had friends coming over, and let's just say not one was left by the end of that following night.

"How are they so fudgy?!"

"Where can I find the recipe!"

"Those are seriously so rich and good"

And my friends are picky when it comes to desserts, so it's safe to say they were a winner!

Ingredients you'll need to make fudgy brownies:

  • 1 ¼ cups Granulated Cane Sugar
  • 5 tbsp. Lewis Road Creamery Butter, melted
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 Egg Yolk
  • 1/3 cup Olive Oil
  • ¼ cup Steens Manuka Honey
  • 1 tsp. Heilala Vanilla Extract
  • ¾ cup Cocoa Powder
  • ½ cup All Purpose Flour
  • Pinch of Salt
  • ¾ cup Chopped Milk Chocolate

How to Make the BEST Fudgy Brownies:

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease or line an 8x8” baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the sugar and melted butter.
  3. Add the eggs, olive oil, vanilla, and honey. Mix well.  
  4. Add the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and chocolate. Mix just until combined.
  5. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top is set. Remove from oven and place on a heating pad to chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour before slicing.
