Hallelujah, the weekend is in sight, and you need a no-brainer dinner tonight. Quick Main Thursday has you covered.

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?

Preparation:

  • Prepare grill for medium-high heat; lightly oil grill grate. Mix butter, 1 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt in a small bowl; set aside.

    Season steak with kosher salt and pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, 7-10 minutes for medium-rare. Let rest 5 minutes, then top with pepper butter.

    Meanwhile, combine radishes and remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a medium bowl; season with kosher salt and pepper and toss to coat. Grill radishes until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes per side.

    Season steak with sea salt, slice, and serve with radishes and lemon wedges.
