AWESOME STEAK MARINADE
I created this marinade on a whim one day and it was delicious! We usually use it on porterhouse steaks, but I'm sure it's interchangeable. This recipe is more than enough for two large steaks, but can be increased or decreased as needed.

Steps:
- Place onion, garlic, ginger root, jalapeño pepper, soy sauce, and honey in a blender. (if you don't have jalapeño peppers, you can use red pepper flakes) Blend until it looks like a mushy sauce. It will look weird but it's just the marinade. :).
- Put sauce in a gallon zipper bag and put flank steak inside. Marinate overnight.
- Take steak out of marinade, pat dry with a paper towel and coat with oil. Discard marinade.
- Put on grill and don't keep playing with it! Let it sit on each side for 5 minutes.
- Take off grill and let it sit for 5 minutes before cutting into it. (This will allow the juices to be reabsorbed into the meat without it running out with the first cut into the steak).
- Cut steak at an angle, against the grain and very thin. Serve.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Steak: Select a high-quality steak with good marbling, such as ribeye, strip, or tenderloin.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Always use fresh herbs, spices, and citrus juices for the best flavor.
- Don't Over-Marinate: Marinating for too long can toughen the steak. Most marinades work best for 30 minutes to 24 hours.
- Tenderize the Steak: Use a meat mallet or fork to tenderize the steak before marinating. This helps the marinade penetrate the meat more easily.
- Keep the Marinade Chilled: Always marinate the steak in the refrigerator to prevent bacteria growth.
- Discard the Marinade: Do not reuse the marinade after it has been in contact with raw meat. Discard it to avoid the risk of foodborne illness.
Conclusion:
Choosing the right marinade and following these tips will help you create a delicious and flavorful steak that will impress your family and friends. Experiment with different marinades to find the ones you like best, and enjoy the convenience of having a perfectly marinated steak ready to cook whenever you crave a juicy and tender meal.
