I love this cookbook! It has great simple BBQ recipes and the Truck Tacos alone are worth the book. The recipes are not just steak, but great combinations of meat, starch and greens. Lots of meals for the summer and summer parties.

I love this book!! The best part are all the side dishes -- it's so great to find something else to put on the plate besides a plain old baked potato and veggie. Some of them are simple and some are really exotic but so far they've all been spectacular!! I bought this book looking for ways to flavor up our weekend steak on the grill nights because my husband likes his steak cooked past well done. I didn't expect a "steak" book to include all these amazing side dishes. I love it, highly recommended!!!!!!

This book is a gem, a collection of great offerings in a lovely package. The fine writing is a major treat, too. We've been giving Cree LeFavour's cookbook "The New Steak" to everyone for birthdays and other occasions. One friend announced that he had taken it to be to read before falling asleep, so that he could savor the recipes, enjoy the photos, appreciate the excellent writing and perhaps influence his dreams. For us, it's the best new cookbook in a very long time. We give it top marks.

I saw this book at the Ferry Building Market in San Francisco and just couldn't get it out of my mind, so I eventually ordered it from Amazon. In fact, I ordered two - to give one as a gift. Every recipe I've tried has been mouth-wateringly good. Of the many excellent recipes for Bolognese Sauce I've tried in my life, the one in this book, made with dried porcini, skirt steak, ground pork and pancetta, is, hand's down, the best Bolognese I've ever made. So good, in fact, that I could eat it alone, but also delicious over papardelle as I confess to not having made the accompanying Homemade Noodles. I completely concur with an earlier reviewer who raved about the side dishes, which are inventive and very tasty to serve on their own, and I am enamored of the flavorful marinades and intense complexity that layer the flavors of many of the dishes.

This is one of those books to cook your way through from beginning to end so you miss a single morsel of the deliciousness it contains. A trip through this book is definitely a culinary adventure worth taking.

I bought this book because I needed new ideas for steak. I got way more than I bargained for. This book is beautifully written and is full of great pictures. The book is divided up into types of steak. The chapters are, in order, American Steak, Bistro Steak, Latin Steak & Far East Steak. The recipes I have made turned out perfectly, and i found that the suggested cook times are acurate. I have made the Skirt Steak Straight Up, Rib Steak with Orange bell pepper puree & Truck Tacos.

The sides provided go well with the steak's seasonings and are creative, like fennel gratin, yuca in tangelo sauce, mango salad, beet chips, kohlrabi salad & corn griddle cakes.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is bored with the same old t-bone and baked potato. For more of my cookbook reviews visit [...]

This has become my favorite meat cook book. The recipes are easy to follow and Ms. LeFavour has come up with uniquely creative and tasty side dishes. Aside from covering the traditional cuts, she focuses on some of the less popular, but tasty and inexpensive cuts, such as hanger steak, flank steak, strip steak and flat iron steak. We just bought seven more copies to give away to friends and family over Christmas.
Great recipes to fit every budget!
