AMAZING GINGER-GARLIC STEAK MARINADE



Amazing Ginger-Garlic Steak Marinade image

This marinade tenderizes the steaks and makes them absolutely delicious. You won't need steak sauce for this one! I will sometimes use it on a big London broil which I'll slice against the grain. The result is tender and really delicious. I never measure anything for this. It's hard to mess up. Prep time doesn't include time marinating in the fridge.

Time 5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 steaks, any cut
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger or 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Throw all ingredients in a Ziplock bag with your steaks.
  • Refrigerate overnight (tastes best), or for at least two hours.
  • Cook your steaks however you want.
  • Some people will probably scream unsanitary, but I like to boil down the marinade until it thickens in the same pan I cook my steaks in, and serve it as a pan sauce. I'm not dead yet!
  • Enjoy!

Categories     Flat Iron Steak

Time 2h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

¼ cup fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
⅓ cup fresh grapefruit juice
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce
2 teaspoons honey
1 ½ teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
1 teaspoon garlic salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 pinch ground cinnamon
1 (1 pound) flat iron steak

Steps:

  • Whisk together lime juice, lemon juice, grapefruit juice, rice vinegar, olive oil, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, and honey in a bowl until the honey has dissolved. Season with ginger, garlic salt, pepper, and cinnamon; whisk until blended. Place the flat iron steak into a resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade overtop. Squeeze out the excess air, seal, and marinate in the refrigerator 1 1/2 hours. Do not marinate much longer than this, as the citrus juice will "cook" the beef.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
  • Remove flat iron from the marinade, and discard the remaining marinade. Cook on preheated grill until the steak has attained your desired degree of doneness, about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare. Place steak onto a plate, set aside, and allow to rest for 3 to 4 minutes before slicing.

Tips:

  • To save time, you can marinate the steak for up to 24 hours in advance. Just be sure to bring it to room temperature before cooking.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the steak in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
  • For a more flavorful steak, use a flavorful cut of meat, such as flank steak or skirt steak.
  • Be sure to cook the steak to your desired doneness. For a medium-rare steak, cook for 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the steak.

Conclusion:

This citrus ginger flat iron steak is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The marinade infuses the steak with flavor, and the quick cooking time makes it a snap to prepare. Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.
