The trick about steak night is to make a menu that highlights the main attraction – the steak – and also has food for everyone. Here is a menu that kept everyone happy.
Sweet and Spicy Chicken Wings with Cilantro Sriracha Blue Cheese Sauce
This mixture of soy sauce, brown sugar and Sambal sauce creates tangy marinade for the small chicken wings and drums.
