Take this grilled steak and radish dish, for example. It's no frills, all flavor. The piece de resistance is a pepper-flecked butter, which melts into a sauce for your simply seasoned hanger (or flank, or skirt) steak--and accompanying radishes--to bathe in, while a sprinkling of lemon and flaky sea salt brightens everything up. Fire up your BBQ, and in less than 30 minutes, you'll have a fire-kissed steak dinner with all the accoutrements. Did we mention we love grilling?
