Marinade for Steak

"We've been using this marinade for 25 years and never tire of it. The taste is wonderful and, if left overnight, the marinade helps to tenderize the steaks. (If tenderness is a big issue, add a couple of tablespoons of vinegar to the recipe below). Prep time does not include time for marinading."

directions

  • Combine all ingredients in a non-metallic bowl.
  • Add steak and spoon over marinade.
  • Cover and refrigerate several hours or preferably overnight (but even 1/2 hour will do).
  • When ready to cook remove meat from marinade, pat dry with paper towels and cook as usual.

  1. The name for this steak is boring.....but there is nothing boring about the taste. I used Bulls Eye Barbecue Sauce and mixed fresh herbs from my garden and lots of fresh mixed crused peppercorns. It could be kicked up a bit with hot pepper sauce or with garlic chili sauce. So I will keep this recipe....change the name but not the ingredients!!! Thanks for a winner Kooka!
     
  2. Great marinade. If you have a food sealer I suggest you place the steak in the bag and run the marinade function. Strapped for time I had it marinate for ~20mins under pressure while I prepped the remaining dinner. Too easy. Alternative to Red Wine, use equivalent measure of Jack Daniels, add some Chipotle chillies and place in a BBQ with some hickory chips. Sensational flavour.
     
  3. Loved it! Marinated a top round steak for about 4 hours in fridge, added a very nice flavor. Didn't have any red wine, so used red wine vinegar and turned out great. Will definitely try to marinate longer next time, but still good with a few hours! Thanks for posting.
     
  4. This is the BEST! My Kids and grandbaby came over for a tenderloin cookout and we were all blown away! Thank YOU! This is my steak marinade FOREVER!
     
  5. Very different and flavorful marinade. Used Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce and marinated New York strip steaks overnight. These were melt in your mouth with a wonderful flavor. Will definitely use this marinate again. May try it on pork chops next. Thanks for sharing!

<p>Above: Slideshow of our garden at Avalon Slideshow of our recent holiday at Woodgate Beach, South-East Queensland, Australia. Hi! I'm Kookaburra, from Australia. First, a promise. I will only post recipes on this site which I've made myself and to which I would personally give a 5 star rating - what you give them is up to you ;-) I look forward to receiving your feedback. If you look at my reviews, they're all 5 stars. That doesn't mean I give 5 stars to every recipe I try. I'm just not interested in giving poor ratings to anyone else's recipe because I accept that different people have different tastes. So, I've decided that I'll only review those recipes which I really love and which I'd make again and recommend to friends. If a recipe meets that criteria - even if it needs a bit of 'tweaking' to match my tastes, I'll give it 5 stars. If not, I'll just delete it from my recipe book and no hard feelings. I'm not advocating this as the 'right' approach. I just decided I needed a consistent strategy for rating and this is mine. I'm passionate about cooking - and eating! What I look for in food is something that 'zings' in the mouth. I like lots of taste - I'm not a big fan of subtlety. I don't often cook recipes exactly as written. I like to experiment and adapt things to my own taste. A retired marketing executive and academic, I live with my elderly (but thoroughly modern) mother in a tiny mountain village at the edge of the rainforest. I'm female, happily single, in my mid-40s and boast the Rubenesque figure of a passionate cook! Avalon, our 'story-book' cottage, overlooks a small lake. As I sit at my computer or work in the kitchen, I'm serenaded by a cacophany of native birds - including a very fat family of kookaburras! We have quite a large property and are lucky to have vegetable gardens and a variety of fruit and nut trees. I look forward to sharing recipes on Recipezaar with family, friends and friends I've yet to meet. last minute flight</p>
