Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 (8 ounce) boneless rib-eye steaks
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
1 pinch Montreal steak seasoning, or to taste
⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
⅓ cup Worcestershire sauce
⅓ cup soy sauce
⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 dash liquid smoke flavoring

Steps:

Place steaks in a flat baking dish or container. Cut slits at 1-inch intervals in the fat around the edges of the steaks. Gently pierce both sides of each steak a few times with a fork.
Sprinkle each steak with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Montreal steak seasoning. Pat seasonings into steaks.
Whisk olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, and liquid smoke together in a bowl. Pour marinade over steaks to coat. Cover container or baking dish with plastic wrap and marinate steaks in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Turn steaks over and marinate for another 2 hours.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Cook the steaks on the preheated grill until they start to firm, and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 8 to 10 minutes per side for medium-rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 flank steak
1 onion
3 garlic cloves
1 inch gingerroot
1/2 jalapeno pepper, chopped
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

Place onion, garlic, ginger root, jalapeño pepper, soy sauce, and honey in a blender. (if you don't have jalapeño peppers, you can use red pepper flakes) Blend until it looks like a mushy sauce. It will look weird but it's just the marinade. :).
Put sauce in a gallon zipper bag and put flank steak inside. Marinate overnight.
Take steak out of marinade, pat dry with a paper towel and coat with oil. Discard marinade.
Put on grill and don't keep playing with it! Let it sit on each side for 5 minutes.
Take off grill and let it sit for 5 minutes before cutting into it. (This will allow the juices to be reabsorbed into the meat without it running out with the first cut into the steak).
Cut steak at an angle, against the grain and very thin. Serve.

Tips:

Choose the right steak: For best results, use a tender cut of steak, such as ribeye, strip loin, or tenderloin.
Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the steak its flavor, so make sure to use a marinade that has a good balance of flavors. Use a combination of acidic ingredients (such as lemon juice or vinegar), herbs, spices, and oil.
Marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate the steak, the more flavor it will absorb. However, do not marinate the steak for more than 24 hours, as this can make the steak 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.
Use a meat thermometer to check the doneness of the steak: This is the best way to ensure that the steak is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

By following these tips, you can make a delicious and flavorful steak marinade that will impress your family and friends. Experiment with different marinades to find the one that you like best. And don't forget to let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing, as this will help to make it even more tender and juicy.
