Marinade for Steak

Kookaburra's Note:

We've been using this marinade for 25 years and never tire of it. The taste is wonderful and, if left overnight, the marinade helps to tenderize the steaks. (If tenderness is a big issue, add a couple of tablespoons of vinegar to the recipe below). Prep time does not include time for marinading.

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons red wine
• 2 tablespoons tomato sauce (ketchup) or 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
• 3 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 teaspoon dried herbs
• good grinding black pepper (or crushed chili to taste)

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a non-metallic bowl.
2. Add steak and spoon over marinade.
3. Cover and refrigerate several hours or preferably overnight (but even 1/2 hour will do).
4. When ready to cook remove meat from marinade, pat dry with paper towels and cook as usual.
5. (I usually fry or barbecue the steak).

Loved it! Marinated a top round steak for about 4 hours in fridge, added a very nice flavor. Didn't have any red wine, so used red wine vinegar and turned out great. Will definitely try to marinate longer next time, but still good with a few hours! Thanks for posting.
