Steak Marinade

LuuvBunny's Note:

This is a variation of a recipe I got from a book that came with my BBQ. I used strip loin steaks and it was fantastic. You don't need any steak sauce to go with it. The taste from the marinade is delicious!

• Total Time: 33 mins
• Prep Time: 3 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 3

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 garlic clove , minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• pepper

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients together and place steaks into freezer bag with marinade, preferably overnight.
2. The original recipe used balsamic vinegar.Seems I never had that on hand so I just used white and listed that in the recipe, but balsamic is definitely better.

OMG The Very Best Indoor Steak EVER!!! You should be walking around like a proud peacock knowing you introduced such a wonderful marinade to all your fellow zaarities. I only was able to marinade for about 2 hours, then preheated a cast iron grill skillet on medium high heat for 10 minutes. Cooked, without disurbing any of the marinade from the steak, for 6 minutes on each side to produce a just well done steak. Very juicy and tender was my T bone. Thanks so much for posting. Will be a do again soon! UPDATE: I have used this recipe sooo many times now, I buy any kind of steak on sale and use this, I crave this taste. This recipe is enjoyed 2 to 3 times a week... I can say that I enjoy this cooked inside more than I do grilled. Oh and have discovered with many times of cooking and different marinade times... that one hour marinating is as good as 24 hours, taste wise.

As a cattleman, I don't normally like anything that would mask the natural flavor of the beef. This marinade added a truely fantastic flavor to the steak. It definitely complimented the natural flavor of the steak.

I have mixed reviews on this recipe. My husband thought it was great, I thought it was okay. I marinated 2 Rib Steaks for over 18 hours. I think cooking time may be the determining factor. My steak was cooked Well Done, my Husband's Medium-Well. For mine, the edges tasted great, but the main part of the steak didn't have any special flavour to me and it was a little tough. My husband's steak had great flavour throughout and was very tender. My husband insists I make this again, I guess I will have it Medium-Well next time ;)
