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.

Directions:

1. Mix all the marinade ingredients (everything except steak) in small bowl.
2. Lightly brush both sides of steak with about 50% of the marinade and place covered in refrigerator until ready to use.
3. Also place the remaining marinade in the rerigerator until read to use.
4. Cook steak in a pan with a small amount of butter or on a grill plate to your usual preferences, turning and basting with the remaining marinade several times.
5. Serve with mashed potatoes and vegetables.

Perfection on a plate. I used sirloin steak which was melt in the mouth delicious. Served with simple vegetables which allowed the steak to more than shine, not that it needed any help. For the mustard I used 'Grainy Mustard' which worked really well. Made for Aussie / Kiwi Swap Jan 2013

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.
