Grilled Bavette Steak with Smoked Paprika Sauce

August 9, 2021 by Tamara Giebel Leave a Comment

Grilled Bavette Steak with Smoked Paprika Sauce has a spicy seasoned crust and a juicy tender inside with fresh tomato radish salad.

The smoked paprika sauce is very simple to make and can be finished in just a few minutes.  Making this an easy weeknight meal that doesn’t require much effort. It’s smooth, earthy spice pairs well with the grilled bavette steak and bright, fresh tomato radish salad. It’s a beautiful dish to serve on a platter, with the meat cut diagonal across the grain and the radish tomato salad cascading over the top.

If the term bavette steak doesn’t sound familiar, you may recognize it as a flap steak.  It’s similar to flank steak, but meatier in texture. It seems to have slightly more fat than flank steak.

Farm Raised Beef

Mama’s Garden in Deming, Washington supplied the bavette steak for this Grilled Bavette Steak with Smoked Paprika Sauce. A family owned farm supplying locals with USDA grass fed angus beef as well as seasonal vegetables, blueberries and plants.

Family owned means you know where your food comes from. Generations of hard working farmers bringing the same quality year after year. You can taste the quality in every bite. Once you try farm raised beef, fresh eggs and vegetables, you will be hooked for life. The taste, the texture, even the color is noticeably different than grocery store meat…and if you’re looking for the added benefits, be sure to check out the list by clicking this link to Mama’s Garden where she explains many reasons why farm raised beef is the best.
