Delicious Steak Marinade, and How to Broil Steaks

posted in Recipes, Food, How-To |

You will NOT be sorry if you marinate your steak in:

  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  •  Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 clove of minced garlic or some garlic powder

When I read a similar recipe, my jaw dropped. It’s like… everything good in one marinade! Yum! I adjusted the ratios a little bit to suit my tastes… the original was a bit heavy on the Worcestershire sauce.

We made these steaks when we  had just moved in to the house, didn’t have any pots, pans, or the grill, and really wanted to eat something “real”… we found the broiler pan in that drawer under the oven and rejoyced!

To broil a steak, first turn on your broiler and put the pan in the oven to preheat.

When everything is super-hot, plop your marinated steaks on the pan and return to the oven (don’t forget oven mitts!)

After about 4-6 minutes (depending on how you like your steaks cooked), flip over your steaks.

And another 4-6 minutes later, you’ll have delicious steak.

I like mine on the rare side, so I kind of under cooked it… The edges were really good but I did have to cook the middle a bit more.

But… yuuuum.

    Wow!!!! That’s really rare. I haven’t eaten steak in many years, but I never remember eating it that rare.

    Yeah, it was a little too rare… like I said, I ate the edges and then popped it in for a few more minutes. I only did 3 minutes on each side, so i think 4 on each side would’ve been better.
    But that’s how we do things… domesticity by trial and error. :-P
