While I was working at a pasta place as a cook, we often made steaks for ourselves for dinner. This marinade came about from playing with the ingredients that we had on hand. This will make even a cheap steak very tender. For the red wine, use what you are going to eat with the steaks - This is not the time for your bottle under the kitchen sink! When this has done its job tenderizing your steaks, this marinade does double duty as one if the best steak sauces out there. Prep time does not include marinating time.

Tips:

  • When choosing a steak, look for one that is at least 1 inch thick and has good marbling. This will ensure that the steak is tender and juicy.
  • Always marinate your steak for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the meat.
  • If you are using a acidic marinade, such as one that contains vinegar or lemon juice, be sure to rinse the steak thoroughly before cooking. This will help to prevent the steak from becoming tough.
  • When cooking your steak, be sure to preheat your grill or pan over high heat. This will help to sear the outside of the steak and lock in the juices.
  • Cook the steak to your desired doneness. For a rare steak, cook for 2-3 minutes per side. For a medium-rare steak, cook for 3-4 minutes per side. For a medium steak, cook for 4-5 minutes per side. And for a well-done steak, cook for 5-6 minutes per side.
  • Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak.

Conclusion:

By following these tips, you can cook a perfect steak every time. Whether you prefer your steak rare, medium-rare, medium, or well-done, there is a marinade and cooking method that will suit your taste. So next time you're in the mood for a juicy, flavorful steak, be sure to try one of these recipes.
