Boy, steaks are really out-of-this-world awesome, done this way!  This Marinated Steak With Bourbon Cream Mushroom Sauce combines two great recipes to produce a dish that is undeniably restaurant-grade gourmet.  And once you have given the marinade some time to work its magic, it doesn’t take very long to cook.

I love a good steak now and then (who doesn’t?), love my creamy sauces, and occasionally like a nip of that brown liquor called bourbon (it is awesome in mint juleps, by the way).  This deliciousness combined all three, and it had been a while since I had any juicy beef, so how could I possibly resist?  I have to say, I was already expecting something good and got something even better…so much YUM! It won’t be long ’til I make these again for my family!

Quick tip: Marinade the stakes the night before for best results.

There is a time to be creative and a time to accept that the classic recipe is the best. In the case of Maryland crab cakes, it is the latter. This timeless seafood appetizer works great as a warm-up for a more elaborate seafood main course or as a delightful bite-sized contrast to something like grilled steak.

I grew up around seafood, and though the classic Maryland crab cake may owe its name to a location far removed from my childhood home, it is an appetizer cherished by most any community close to salt water. And yes, Maryland crab cakes have an addictive savory taste: In the right mood, I could gorge myself on them without no need for anything else other than a nice helping of beer or wine.

Perhaps the best thing about this appetizer, though, is the versatility that it offers your menu: Obviously, it goes well with a larger seafood course, but it also pairs nicely with something like a grilled steak.
