The Summer Barbeque Recipes: Grilled Steak

Categories: Uncategorized

5 comments

What was it I said earlier this week about the best chicken marinade? This is the steak version.

For a long time I was very into using Montreal Seasoning.  I used it on every kind of steak-like meat that I made.  I think my family rejoiced when I decided to move on to something new.

You will need:

1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
juice of one lemon
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Dijon-style prepared mustard
1 onion, sliced *
2 cloves garlic, minced *

*I was in a rush today and so I used dried minced onion and garlic powder. It came out just as delicious.

Dump all the ingredients into a large ziploc bag. Squeeze the bag to mix the ingredients thoroughly.

I did use fresh squeezed lemons though, my children wouldn’t have it any other way.

Put the steak into the bag with the marinade mixture. Put it in the fridge and allow to marinate all day. The acidic ingredients tenderize the meat. The longer you allow it to set, the more tender it will become.

Put on a hot grill and cook about 5 minutes on each side.

I served it with some crusty rolls and a side salad.  The photo is blurry because I had to take it quick before someone stole the food  right off of my plate.

  • Is that a flank steak? (I’m not sure it matters, but just in case!)

  • Chris, I just absolutely LOVE all of your recipes. I have made quite a few now (chili - yum, chicken & broccoli - double yum) & they have all made it into the dinner rotation. Quick question. What kind of steak do you use in the recipe?

    Thanks for all of your cooking inspiration.

  • Chris, I made this last night and it really was delicious. I have yet to make anything of yours that I didn’t really enjoy. Thanks!

  • Chris - Just made this marinade this morning and our steak bathed in it all day. I don’t eat red meat, but I made it for my husband and sons. I had to test taste the marinade before I added the meat. It was so devine that I could have drank it! I was told that the grilled steak turned out excellent. The lemon really adds to it. Thanks and keep the great recipes coming!

  • Chris,
    I can’t wait to try this….sounds yummy! My husband raises beef, so we eat more than we should and I love to change it up as much as possible.
