When visiting various steakhouses, customers will see a lot of the same steak garnishes. Decorated baked potatoes, curled carrots and molded rice are all pretty to look at. However, there are several other garnish ideas that liven up a steak plate and entice the taste buds. The following five suggestions are unique, healthy and simple to create.
1. Pepper Stuffed With Fruit Salsa
Poblano
Choose a pepper that is smaller than the steak. For example, a large jalapeno pepper will work for a filet mignon cut. However, a poblano pepper is a more suitable size of garnish for larger cuts of meat. Wash the pepper, wrap it in foil and bake it for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove it, allow the pepper to cool and cut a thin lengthwise slice from it. Use a spoon to carefully scrape out the seeds and veins. Rinse the inside out. Chop a mango, a tangerine, a tomato, a small onion and cilantro. Squeeze the juice of one key lime over the mixture. Add a pinch of salt, a pinch of sugar and a pinch of garlic powder. Carefully fill the pepper with the salsa. This combination is filling, and it tastes great with a seasoned steak.
2. Seafood Kebabs
Shrimp skewers often accompany steaks. However, a wider array of seafood creates a much more delicious garnish. For best results, combine three of the following items:
- Lobster
-Scallops
-Oysters
-Mussels
-Tuna
-Swordfish
-Shrimp
The key to making these kebabs successful is to make sure all the seafood pieces are the same thickness. Since not all of these items can be the same thickness, cut the ones that are thicker than the smallest piece. For example, cut tuna and scallops to match the thickness of the shrimp. Place the seafood on a skewer. Soak the skewers in a mixture of 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1/4 cup of water and 1/4 cup of soy sauce. Add the juice from two key limes, a pinch of garlic powder and a pinch of sugar. For best results, grill or broil the kebabs. To add color, use chunks of pineapple, pepper or onion.
3. Star Flower Cucumbers
This garnish is perfect for summer garden parties or spring themes. Star flowers are edible and tasty. They may also be called borage, beebread, talewort or burrage. Be sure to buy ones that are grown and marketed for consumption. Flowers growing wild may have pesticides. These garnishes are simple to make and do not require baking. However, a good paring knife is needed. Gather one small cucumber per guest and two star flowers per guest. Cut the cucumber into perfect slices. Do not peel it. Cut small v-shaped notches all around each piece. Carefully arrange the star flowers and slices. Sprinkle them with cane sugar just before serving.
The taste of the food may be the most important factor, but visual appeal is also very important. Although guests and customers enjoy simple edible sides, they prefer delicious attractive decorations.
