Melt in Your Mouth Steak

- Ready In:
- 1hr 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Serves:
-
4
ingredients
- 4 steaks, of your choice
- 2 teaspoons meat tenderizer (1 per pound)
- 1⁄2 cup red wine vinegar
- 1⁄4 cup water
- 1⁄4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
directions
- Place thawed steak in a casserole dish fit to size of steaks.
- Sprinkle desired amount of meat tenderizer on one side of each steak and then, using a fork, fork the meat tenderizer into the steak very thoroughly (you cannot overdo it, the more the better!) Flip each steak over and repeat step 2 on other side of steak.
- Combine last seven ingredients in a separate bowl and microwave for 2 minutes.
- Pour mixture over steaks (the heated mixture helps the sugar dissolve and the meat soak the marinade up better but is not required).
- Marinate desired time however the longer the better.
- Put the steak on the grill and cook it how you like it.
- (I usually save the marinade and baste in while cooking, this keeps it extra juicy) Enjoy!

I decided to use the recipe for bone in pork chops and grilled them on the gas grill. OMG.. they were DELICIOUS! Moist.. tender.... I marinated them for about 5 hours. I can't wait to try steak!<br/>UPDATE: 5/8/2014 I have now used this marinade for pork chops, steak and chicken legs. For the chicken legs I just put the meat tenderizer into the marinade and not on the chicken. Take a look at the chicken legs on the grill. They were delicious!

Wonderful flavor. I used basil instead of thyme - personal preference - and minced 2 large cloves of garlic. I marinated the sirloins for about 4 hours and grilled them to medium. The flavor was absolutely wonderful and the meat was very tender.My daughter had her new boyfriend over for dinner, and I wanted to impress. This worked. Will make again.
