In a cooking rut? Try one of these taste-tested, family-approved recipes using ground beef.

A good quality steak doesn't mess around, so neither does this recipe. Lemon juice, fresh thyme, and butter make a mouthwatering topping for some expertly grilled NY strip steaks.

LEMON-THYME BUTTER
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
STEAKS
4 well-trimmed New York strip steaks (7 ounces each, trimmed weight)
1 teaspoon virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
For Lemon-Thyme Butter: Place all the lemon-thyme butter ingredients in the bowl of a blender or spice grinder, and process them into a smooth paste. Set the mixture aside.
At cooking time, heat a grill until very hot. Meanwhile, rub the steaks with the olive oil, and sprinkle them on both sides with the salt and pepper.
Place the steaks on the rack of a very hot grill, and cook them for about 1 minute on one side, then turn them over and cook them 1 1/2 minutes on the other side.
Turn the steaks over again, and place them back on the rack at a 90-degree angle from their original grilling position to create a lattice of marks from the grill rack.
Cook the steaks for 1 minute longer on the hot grill, for a total of about 3 1/2 minutes for a medium-rare result. Serve immediately with lemon-thyme butter.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
