STEAK PASTE
Another recipe from my Mother-in-law. This is a lovely old fashioned meat paste to spread on sandwiches. My husband and his oldest 2 sons absolutely loved this in days gone by. The recipe does not state what type of steak to use. I have made this several times with a cheaper cut and it just lovely. (Not sure of quantity this makes as I haven't made it for a long time. Also depends on the size jars you use. I will amend this when I make it again and can state how much it makes) Also note: Recipezaar wants to change the ingredient of "Anchovy sauce" to anchovies, sauce. This is actually a sauce that you can buy here in Australia.

SPICY STEAK MARINADE
My family loves this slightly spicy marinade, we've even cooked it down and added tomato sauce and made it into a type of basting/barbeque sauce. Place steaks in a resealable plastic bag and pour marinade over the top. Allow to rest for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for best flavor and tenderness.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of steak: Flank, skirt, or hanger steaks are great choices for marinating and grilling. These cuts are flavorful and tender, but they can be tough if not cooked properly.
- Make sure your marinade has a good balance of flavors: You want your marinade to be flavorful, but not too salty or acidic. A good rule of thumb is to use 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of acid (such as lemon juice or vinegar) for every cup of liquid.
- Let your steak marinate for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate your steak, the more flavor it will absorb. If you're short on time, you can marinate your steak for as little as 15 minutes, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
- Cook your steak over high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the steak and keep it juicy on the inside. If you're using a grill, cook your steak over direct heat for 4-6 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare.
- Let your steak rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful. Let your steak rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Conclusion:
If you're looking for a delicious and easy way to cook steak, marinating is the way to go. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and tender steak that will be the star of your next meal. So next time you're firing up the grill, be sure to try one of these marinade recipes.
