MARINADE FOR STEAK
Ingredients in a marinade can be varied, but it is important to use wine, vinegar, lemon juice, or some acidic liquid to break down the connective tissues. This process will make the steak more tender. Remaining marinade ingredients add flavor. Use a good-quality olive oil or walnut oil; add good-quality wine or vinegar and a combination of fresh and dried herbs, seasonings, garlic and soy sauce to make a flavorful marinade.

EXCELLENT STEAK MARINADE

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.

STEAK MARINADE
Soy, coriander and cumin join ginger and garlic in this simple, umami-laden marinade. It's a perfect match for any tender cut of beef, such as bavette, rib-eye or flank steak which have a loose, visible grain primed for soaking up marinades. This recipe imparts its flavor in as little as 30 minutes, though the meat benefits from any additional marinating time - and can sit for up to two days. The steak chars as it cooks, and the exterior caramelizes to create a crisp, powerfully savory crust.

Steps:
- Combine the soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, coriander and cumin in a large bowl or resealable freezer bag. (You should have 3/4 cup marinade.) Add the steak and massage the marinade into the meat, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or preferably for at least 3 hours or up to 2 days. (The marinade will permeate the meat more powerfully over time, resulting in a more robust flavor.)
- Remove the meat from the refrigerator about 1 hour before cooking to bring to room temperature. Heat a large heavy skillet, grill or grill pan over high heat. If using a pan, add the neutral oil to the pan. (No oil is needed for the barbecue or griddle pan.) When the pan or grill is hot, use tongs to remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess to fall away before placing the steaks on the pan or grill. Depending on the thickness of your steak (and the doneness you prefer), cook a 1-inch-thick steak for about 3 minutes per side until medium-rare. For thinner steaks or alternative cuts, reduce the cooking time to about 2 minutes per side, and increase the cooking time as needed for thicker cuts.
- Remove the steak and let rest for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and thinly slice the meat against the grain. Serve warm, room temperature or even cold, depending on your preference.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of steak: Different cuts of steak have different flavors and textures, so it's important to choose one that will work well with your marinade. For example, flank steak or skirt steak are good choices for marinating, as they are relatively thin and will absorb the flavors of the marinade quickly.
- Don't over-marinate your steak: Over-marinating can make your steak tough and dry. For most cuts of steak, 2-4 hours is ideal. If you're using a more acidic marinade, such as one that contains citrus juice, you may want to marinate the steak for less time, as the acid can start to break down the proteins in the steak.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give your steak its flavor, so it's important to use one that is packed with flavor. Be sure to include a variety of ingredients, such as herbs, spices, olive oil, and citrus juice.
- Let the steak come to room temperature before cooking: This will help the steak cook evenly. If you cook a cold steak, the outside will be overcooked before the inside is cooked through.
- Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the steak and lock in the juices. You can cook the steak on a grill, in a pan, or under the broiler.
- Let the steak rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
Conclusion:
Marinating steak is a great way to add flavor and tenderness to your favorite cut of meat. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and flavorful marinade that will make your steak the star of the show. So next time you're looking for a special way to cook steak, give marinating a try. You won't be disappointed!
