ANDREAS VIESTAD'S VODKA MARINATED SIRLOIN
This was prepared on Andreas Viestad's cooking show, "New Scandinavian Cooking", and it's a bit different than you may expect of the cuisine... it's definitely more garlicky than I would have thought. And despite all the vodka, it's not boozy at all. In fact, I actually used aquavit in place of the vodka and it added even more interesting flavor. If you use a smaller roast, be sure to adjust the oven time accordingly; sirloin roast can go from perfect to too dry very quickly.

Steps:
- Rub the roast with the salt and pepper and place in a plastic zipper bag. Add the parsley, 2 tablespoons of the thyme, and the garlic, then pour in the vodka and olive oil. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 2 to 3 days, turning the bag twice a day.
- Before cooking, let the meat stand at room temperature for 1 or 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Remove the meat from the bag and reserve the marinade. Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat and sear the roast on all sides, about 4 to 6 minutes.
- Transfer the meat to a roasting pan and roast in the middle of the oven, turning once, for 1 to 1-1/4 hours or until a meat thermometer registers 130 degrees F; and before the roast is done, pour the reserved marinade over it (you can do it when you turn the roast over, as I did -- ).
- When done, transfer the meat to a cutting board and let it rest, uncovered, for at least 20 minutes; set the roasting pan aside.
- Just before serving, pour the cooking juices into a saucepan and heat gently. Stir in the butter, season with salt and pepper and the remaining 1 teaspoons thyme. Strain the sauce and discard the herbs.
- Carve the roast and arrange on a platter with the sauce on the side.

Tips:
- Use high-quality vodka. This will ensure that your marinade is flavorful and delicious.
- Allow the steak to marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. This will give the vodka time to penetrate the meat and tenderize it.
- If you are using a flank steak, be sure to slice it against the grain. This will make it more tender and easier to chew.
- Cook the steak over high heat to ensure that it is cooked evenly.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
Conclusion:
Vodka steak marinade is a simple and effective way to tenderize and flavor your steak. The vodka helps to break down the tough fibers in the meat, making it more tender and juicy. The other ingredients in the marinade, such as garlic, onion, and herbs, add flavor and complexity to the steak. If you are looking for a delicious and easy way to cook steak, try using a vodka marinade. You won't be disappointed.
