THE BEST STEAK MARINADE RECIPE

Main Ingredients for Marinade

Soy Sauce

Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

Worcestershire Sauce

A1 Steak Sauce

Lemon Juice

Here’s the big thing…I don’t “measure” my ingredients. I can’t tell you the EXACT amounts of everything to put in. I will tell you this:

• I use probably 1/2 cup-1 cup of steak sauce depending on how much marinade I need for the size of my steak
• I put in about equal portions of Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce (maybe 1/8-1/4 cup)
• I use 1/2 cup to 1 cup of Italian dressing
• I use around 1 tablespoon mustard
• I used around 1 tablespoon of lemon juice

The mixture will taste good no matter what, you can taste as you go and adjust. The biggest ingredients are the steak sauce and Italian dressing. The next two in line of most used, would be the soy and Worcestershire sauce. And the least used is the lemon juice and mustard. If you follow that overall idea you’ll be in good shape. We make enough to cover our steaks.

Can I Use the Marinade for Basting?

Yes and no. If you plan to use the marinade left in the bag know that raw meat has been there and the chances of food-borne illness increase when consuming undercooked meats. But if you cook and boil the marinade you can use it for basting:

Place the marinade in a pan and bring it to a boil for at least 5 minutes. This process ensures that all potentially harmful bacteria are killed. Only then you can use it for basting, or you can transform it into a serving sauce by adding other ingredients like butter or heavy cream and seasonings, and reducing it to concentrate flavors.

How Do you Make a Steak Tender?

There are two ways that I use to make a steak tender. Acidic tenderizers are a great way to get a tender steak. I include lemon juice in my marinade to help to soften the steak. it breaks down the tough fibers in the meat. If you are starting out with an already tough cut of meat, I will also break down the fibers by pounding the meat before I cook it.

How Long do you Marinate Steak?

As soon as your marinade is ready to go you add your steaks and let them soak up all of that delicious flavor. It also tenderizes as it marinates. The minimum to let these steaks marinate is 2 hours, but can also be marinated overnight. The flavor is seriously out of this world!

Cooking Steak in a Skillet Tips

I love to cook my steaks in a skillet. It only takes minutes to get that crispy brown edge and medium cooked inside. But you can also use this recipe to grill. It is perfect for both. It is going to give your steaks the very best flavor!

• Cast Iron: The best skillet to use is a cast-iron skillet. It distributes the heat evenly and browns steak beautifully.
• Heat it up: Use the largest burner on your stove and heat up the cast iron before placing the steaks in. This will ensure I good crusty sear. The oil in the pan should be shimmering almost to the smoking point.
• Dab the Steak: With a paper towel, gently dab the steaks dry. Do not worry you will not take off marinade that is already saturated into the meat. When the meat is dry it will make sure there is a good sear, creating that incredible flavorful crust. When they are moist, they tend to steam instead of sear, which will cause them to be soft.
• Add The Butter Last: Place the butter in the pan right before you are ready to take them out. You do not want your butter to burn, which it can easily with the high heat.
• Let it rest: However you cook your steak be sure to let it rest 5-15 minutes for the juices to redistribute throughout the steak. This way you won’t end up with all the good flavor on your plate instead of inside the meat.
