Some flavor combinations work their way under your skin. They become almost a knee-jerk reference in your culinary vocabulary. I have a few of these tasty touchstones. Hilariously, two of them have the same name – Caesar. I love the cocktail, I love the salad. And both show up frequently in my work. Today, I’m borrowing from the salad. Well, the dressing, to be specific. Everything you would find in a quality, from-scratch caesar dressing, you will find in today’s Ribeye Steak with Caesar Butter. Well, minus the egg.

When I was young my grandmother used to make sweet and sour meatballs. They were occasionally called BBQ meatballs but make no mistake they were exactly the same. The meatballs luxuriated in a sweet and tangy sauce brought to you by the condiment aisle of your local grocery store.
