Fab Recipe: PRE Brands Steak Bruschetta 3 Ways

November 21, 2016 by Soo Park

Fab Recipe: PRE Brands Steak Bruschetta 3 Ways // Photo: @fabsoopark‘Tis the season for parties, gatherings, and celebrations. Whether you are hosting or attending a fabulous holiday soirée, delight your guests with my easy PRE Brands Steak Bruschetta 3 Ways recipes. You’ll be sure to impress with no stress.

I’m completely obsessed with PRE Brands. Why? The beef is 100% grass fed, exactly how it was always meant to be. There are no added hormones, GMOs, or antibiotics and sourced from the most trustworthy sources. You can feel good about what you put into your body.

The packaging is vacuum-sealed for freshness. It’s also visible through the transparent packaging so you never have to worry about the quality of the meat. From steaks to ground beef to specialty cuts, it’s a great go-to for your holiday recipe needs. Search where you can buy PRE Brands here.

I’ve created 3 versions with globally-inspired flavors:

  • Steak Bruschetta with Tomatoes and Mozzarella (Inspired by my recent trip to Italy.)
  • Korean BBQ Steak Bruschetta with Kimchi Slaw (Inspired by my Korean culture.)
  • Fiesta Steak Bruschetta (Inspired by tacos… because who doesn’t love tacos?)

Steak Bruschetta with Tomato and Mozzarella
For this recipe, I chose the PRE Brands Ribeye Steak. Since this cut tends to be on the fattier side, I wanted to use fresh ingredients like arugula, basil, and tomatoes to balance out the flavors.

Korean BBQ Steak Bruschetta with Kimchi Slaw
Growing up in a Korean family, Korean BBQ and kimchi were a staple at our meals. So I thought it would be fun to add an unique twist to a traditional dish. I used PRE Brands Top Sirloin Steak, which is relatively a lean cut of beef. The sweetness of the marinade balances well with the tanginess from the kimchi slaw, while adding a nice crunch to the overall dish.

Fiesta Steak Bruschetta
Although Chicago is not known for tacos, we take it pretty seriously. I love tacos so I was inspired to create this recipe. I used fresh tomatoes, red onions, jalapeños, avocado, lime juice, and more.

Confession: I am not a big fan of cilantro so although I used it in this particular recipe, I made the ones I ate without.

I used PRE Brands New York Strip Steak, which is particularly tender.
