  1. Mixed reviews on this. Needed something more to give it a wow factor.
     
  2. The only think I wish I had done differently with this was to make more of it! I used garlic powder, and we poked holes in the meat before putting it in the marinade so it would absorb more. We cooked the steak under the broiler since it was nasty out, but I will definitely try it on the grill next time. I hope the molasses doesn't cause flare-ups.
     
  3. We asked the butcher to cut the meat in 1 inch slices. Seems like they didn't understand. The slices were so big. Anyway, the meat was in the marinade for maybe 1 hour. And also in the fridge. The steak was so tender and so tasty. Thanks jackie :) Made for Count Dracula and His Hot Bites for ZWT7

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I didn't start cooking until my early 20's, even though I come from a family of accomplished and admired home cooks. While I grew up watching my Italian grandmother in the kitchen, I remained uninterested in trying anything on my own. As a young lady, I was known for being particularly ignorant in the kitchen, with no idea how to even make a hot dog! All this changed, however, when I got engaged. I realized it was time to let my inherent talents out of the bag. At the time, the New York Times had a weekly column called The 60-Minute Gourmet by Pierre Franey. Each week, I would follow these recipes diligently, and taught myself to cook that way. From there, I began to read cookbooks and consult with relatives on family recipes. At my ripe old age now, I feel I know enough to put together a very pleasing meal and have become accomplished in my own right. Having an Irish father and an Italian mother, I'm glad I inherited the cooking gene (and the drinking one too!). One thing I have learned is that simpler is always better! I always believe cooking fills a need to nurture and show love. After being widowed fairly young and living alone with my dog and cats, I stopped cooking for awhile, since I really had no one to cook for. I made care packages for my grown son occasionally, and like to cook weekly for my boyfriend, so I feel like I am truly back in the saddle!!
