STEAK MARINADE M L V
I was having a big BBQ party at my house back in 1999 and was stumped as to what kind of marinade to whip up for my guests. I brain stormed what would taste good with what and went from there. My friends raved about it. When I invited them over for the next BBQ, all I heard was, "Are you making those great steaks of yours?" This recipe was made mainly for steak but this marinade tastes great with chicken or portabella mushrooms as well!

Steps:
- Combine and Mix well all ingredients into a 1-gallon zip lock baggie.
- Marinade steak, roast or chicken breasts over night in the refrigerator and the portabellas for a couple of hours in the refrigerator.
- BBQ placing a Rosemary sprig on each steak or roast or chicken breast but not the portabella.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of steak: Different cuts of steak have different flavors and textures. For marinating, choose a cut that is relatively tender, such as flank steak, skirt steak, or sirloin steak.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the steak its flavor, so it's important to choose one that you like. There are many different marinade recipes available, so experiment until you find one that you enjoy.
- Marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate the steak, the more time the flavors will have to penetrate the meat. However, don't marinate the steak for more than 24 hours, or the meat may start to break down.
- Bring the steak to room temperature before cooking: This will help the steak cook evenly.
- Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to sear the meat and lock in the juices.
- Let the steak rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Marinating steak is a great way to add flavor and tenderness to the meat. With so many different marinade recipes available, there's sure to be one that you'll enjoy. So next time you're grilling steak, be sure to marinate it first. You won't be disappointed!
