Home Cooking - Dessert for steak dinner
Expert: Mike MacDonald - 9/24/2008
Question
Hey Mike,
A guy I am dating is inviting me to his house for dinner. He's making steaks and potatoes and I would like to bring dessert and drinks. We're in college and underage so we can't drink. So what is a good dessert and non-alcoholic drink that pairs well with steak?
Thanks!
Answer
Hi Anie...sorry for the late reply. I am on holidays and forgot to mark myself as away. Anyways, a nice drink to go along with steak is cranberry juice and club soda. 3/4c cranberry juice to 1/4c club soda. You can use any juice for that matter. As for a dessert, here is a copy of one I do...again, you can substitute the berries with a personal favorite. Good luck!!
Cheers
Mike
