STEAK MARINADE

Steak Marinade image

Soy, coriander and cumin join ginger and garlic in this simple, umami-laden marinade. It's a perfect match for any tender cut of beef, such as bavette, rib-eye or flank steak which have a loose, visible grain primed for soaking up marinades. This recipe imparts its flavor in as little as 30 minutes, though the meat benefits from any additional marinating time - and can sit for up to two days. The steak chars as it cooks, and the exterior caramelizes to create a crisp, powerfully savory crust.

Yield About 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1/3 cup plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 (1 1/4-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated (about 2 teaspoons)
3 garlic cloves, peeled and finely grated (about 2 teaspoons)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 pounds boneless steak, any tender cut (preferably bavette, sirloin tip, flap, rib-eye, flank or sirloin)
1 tablespoon neutral oil, for cooking (if using a pan)

Steps:

Combine the soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, coriander and cumin in a large bowl or resealable freezer bag. (You should have 3/4 cup marinade.) Add the steak and massage the marinade into the meat, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or preferably for at least 3 hours or up to 2 days. (The marinade will permeate the meat more powerfully over time, resulting in a more robust flavor.)
Remove the meat from the refrigerator about 1 hour before cooking to bring to room temperature. Heat a large heavy skillet, grill or grill pan over high heat. If using a pan, add the neutral oil to the pan. (No oil is needed for the barbecue or griddle pan.) When the pan or grill is hot, use tongs to remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess to fall away before placing the steaks on the pan or grill. Depending on the thickness of your steak (and the doneness you prefer), cook a 1-inch-thick steak for about 3 minutes per side until medium-rare. For thinner steaks or alternative cuts, reduce the cooking time to about 2 minutes per side, and increase the cooking time as needed for thicker cuts.
Remove the steak and let rest for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and thinly slice the meat against the grain. Serve warm, room temperature or even cold, depending on your preference.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of steak: Different cuts of steak have different flavors and textures. For marinating, choose a steak that is at least 1 inch thick and has a good amount of marbling. Some good options include rib eye, strip steak, and flank steak.
Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give your steak its flavor, so make sure to use one that you enjoy. There are many different marinade recipes available, so you can find one that suits your taste. Some popular ingredients for marinades include olive oil, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and herbs.
Marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate the steak, the more flavor it will absorb. However, don't marinate the steak for more than 24 hours, as this can make the steak tough.
Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the steak and lock in the juices. You can cook the steak in a grill, pan, or oven. Just make sure to cook it to your desired doneness.
Let the steak rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Marinating steak is a great way to add flavor and tenderness to the meat. By following these tips, you can create a delicious steak that your family and friends will love. So next time you're cooking steak, don't forget to marinate it first!
