DAD'S GRILLING STEAK MARINADE



Dad's Grilling Steak Marinade image

My dad always marinated steak in this marinade and was always a favorite of the family. I lost track of it and while I was digging through some old recipes I came across it. It's from Lawry's. It's also great to marinade pork chops.

DAD'S SALTED STEAK WITH (OR WITHOUT) GARLIC



Dad's Salted Steak With (Or Without) Garlic image

My dad taught me this one. Awesome for a quick dinner with boiled, mashed, or any other kind of potatoes and a salad (especially a nice garlicky Ceasar). Living in beef country, we buy steaks on sale (good cuts are sometimes marked down as cheap as or cheaper than ground beef), and wrap, bag, and freeze until we're ready to eat them. (Freezing also tenderizes them a bit, so even cheaper cuts are really gooood.) Slicing the steak and putting in the garlic is optional, but why would you omit it? It's sooooo goooood. You can also add pepper right before you do the salt, but we find it detracts from the garlic and beef and salt flavors.

Categories     Steak

Time 18m

Yield 1-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 steak, per serving your preferred cut and size (defrosted if frozen, go for the best you can afford, it's worth it)
1 whole fresh head of garlic
kosher salt

Steps:

  • Slice cloves of garlic thinly, the long way (about 1 to 1 1/2 cloves per steak, depending on size and how much you like garlic).
  • Make several cuts, about 1 to 2 inches long, against the grain of the steak. Go almost all the way through, but not quite, to form "pockets" in the steak.
  • Place a slice or two of garlic in each of the "pockets", and squish back together.
  • Liberally and evenly sprinkle kosher salt on top of the steak. Flip over and do the same on the other side, being careful not to disturb the garlic hidden deep within the meat.
  • Let the steaks rest while you prepare the broiler or grill. If you're using the broiler, be sure to put aluminum foil on your broiler pan (and remember to cut the slits) to avoid a mess.
  • Broil or grill the steaks to desired doneness, turning once. Mmmmmmmmmm.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality steak: The quality of the steak will greatly impact the final result, so it's worth investing in a good cut of meat.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the steak its flavor, so make sure to use a recipe that you enjoy. Experiment with different combinations of herbs, spices, and liquids to find a marinade that suits your taste.
  • Marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate the steak, the more time the flavors will have to penetrate the meat. However, don't marinate the steak for more than 24 hours, as this can make the meat tough.
  • Bring the steak to room temperature before cooking: This will help the steak cook evenly.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the steak and lock in the juices.
  • Let the steak rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
