Marinated Steak



This is the only kind of steak we make at home, and the only kind that I really like, now. A steak that is more than just, THIS TASTES LIKE MEAT. Although it still does, you know. Taste like meat. Mmm, meat.

Shown here with twice-baked potatoes and steamed string beans.

I believe this recipe actually came from a family friend's magazine clipping. So, no ancient secrets here, more of just an interesting Asian-ish twist on steak.

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup Italian dressing (my mom recommends Wish-Bone, but I just grabbed TJ's)
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • thin-sliced ribeye steak (thinner = more tender, ribeye so that it has good swirls of fat throughout meat = delicousness)
Combine first four ingredients together for marinade, can put in ziplock bag or in tupperware to keep steak flat. Let marinate overnight.



Grill or pan fry until done to desired degree.
