A big slab of steak is just SO good. But what makes them even better, is when you can cook them with the side foods and not use any actual dishes for prep! Let the BBQ do all the work to get mixed veggies and a tender steak.

No store bought sauces here! Yogurt sauce always takes the prize when it comes to BBQ toppings. Especially if there’s tons of garlic in it! Enjoy with a simple potato salad and a garden salad.

Sometimes special occasions call for a little more effort than buying a package of hamburgers. Instead of opting for a roast beef birthday dinner for example, keep that BBQ burning so you can add some seriously classy gourmet skewers to it for a quick meal.
