Caramelised Steak

Peter J's Note:

Fantastic recipe posted by Kookaburra in response to an Aus/NZ forum post. I cooked in a pan with a little butter but next time will try on a BBQ grill plate. Original recipe called for demerara sugar, I used palm sugar but I think brown would be fine as well.

What a wonderful steak recipe Peter. We really enjoyed this tasty treat. I pan fried the steak in butter just the way we like it. It was wonderful, tender, juicy and delish. The marinade was so good, I couldn't get enough of it. Served this steak with yummy cabbage and berber carrotes for a meal to remember. Thank you so much for sharing a recipe that I have included in my Favorites for 2011.

Made for AUS/NZ Swap 48. I really liked the simpleness of making this. I marinated the strip steak for 45 min in the fridge, then took out and let it set for 5 min to come up to temp a bit. We grilled it on the indoor grill. I liked the taste of the marinade a sweetness came through in each bite. My DH did not care for it though because of the sweetness. Perhaps I will cut back on the sugar portion by 1/2 and use this recipe again on steak but will use full strength on other meats. The flavors for me were great. I plan to use the recipe on pork chops and on chicken as I think the marinade lends nicely to these meats as well. Thank you.

This is really good, I loved the marinade/glaze flavor! I used light brown sugar since I could not find cane sugar. I made one large steak for DH and I to share. I have never made a steak on the stove (only BBQ) but this was very good! Made for AUS/NZ Recipe Swap #47.
