<\/p>\n

Take your grilled steak dinner over the top by grilling bread<\/strong> right next to it. Crusty, herby, buttery with gorgeous grill marks is worth every bite.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

What\u2019s steak and potatoes without a side of crusty French bread? Honestly, as excited as I get about a perfectly grilled steak, it\u2019s really the bread that makes the meal. Slather it with herbed butter, and you have an Instagram-worthy dinner.<\/p>\n

Besides, why toast bread in the oven when the grill is already hot? We\u2019re all about making life easier, right?<\/p>\n

Which Bread to Use<\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll want a chewy, sturdy bread that can hold it together while hanging out on the grill. Sourdough has a pleasant tang and good chew that goes great with grilling. For an over-the-top panini, ciabatta and focaccia are good choices.<\/p>\n

And then, the classic baguette, Italian bread, and French bread are perfect for bruschetta and crostini. For a slightly sweeter, buttery twist, definitely try brioche on the grill. And, of course, any of these are great as is on their own.<\/p>\n

How to Grill Bread<\/h2>\n

Mix the herbs with softened butter, slice the bread, slather, and grill.<\/p>\n

Recipe Tips and Twists<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Make the slices thick so they can hold together on the grill.<\/li>\n
  • Some kind of fat will keep the bread from sticking and toast it evenly. If you don\u2019t want to use butter, olive oil will work fine.<\/li>\n
  • Top grilled bread with pesto and tomatoes for one of many bruschetta twists.<\/li>\n
  • Is the butter too cold? Cut it into small cubes, and it should warm up in about 15 minutes. Or grate it into a warm bowl for even faster softening.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Make-Ahead and Leftover Makeovers<\/h2>\n

    Whip up the herbed butter the day before, slather the sliced bread, and keep it all in an airtight zip-lock bag until it\u2019s time.<\/p>\n

    Leftovers make a great savory bread pudding or dressing. I also keep them in the fridge sealed in a zip-lock bag, pull out as many as we need, and toast them for dinner the next day. They\u2019ll stay good for three days and crisp back up in a toaster oven or air fryer.<\/p>\n

    What Goes With Grilled Bread<\/h2>\n

    My first choice is a spicy New York steak or flank steak and mashed potatoes, but we also love it for bruschetta. And if you\u2019re planning a New Year\u2019s or Game Day party with appetizer platters, these guys pair perfectly with an endless list of dips and sauces.<\/p>\n
