While we do love the ambiance at our local steakhouse, we also like being able to cook up restaurant-level meals at home. (Bonus: You can get it just as rare or as well-done as you like it!) Feeling overwhelmed at all the cuts and cooking methods? Don't be! We've got all the tips and tricks to get you ready to grill a steak, pan-fry a steak, cook a steak in the oven, and more. These 65 easy (and wildly delicious) steak recipes, like creamy steak fettuccine, classic Philly cheesesteaks, and carne asada, are sure to satisfy even the hungriest carnivore.
