How do you take your steak? Grilled plain? Salt & Pepper only? How about a rich saucy glaze or marinade?
Tonight for supper I tried a new marinade recipe! I’m always up for trying new recipes. However, I’m often met with resistance from the men in my house!
Something that I’ve struggled with since getting married is my insecurities when cooking supper. I’m a good cook, I think. But, my three boys (hubby and two step-sons) are soooo picky that I think I’ve become more sensitive! I want them to love every meal…especially my hubs. I find it hard because I love to try lots of new things and they don’t! Tonight however, I tried a new marinade on my steak and let T grill his steak just how he likes it! (He prefers grilled with THIS seasoning on it). This worked out well for us because I was able to try a new recipe and he was happy with his traditional version!
I loved this new recipe. The lemon juice and the herbs lend a fresh taste instead of a heavy marinade rich taste and it stays very juice. T didn’t love it because it had too many herbs for him! I came to the realization that he doesn’t have to fall in love with every meal I make and he’s not going to leave me if I make something that isn’t his new favorite!
- 2 T lemon juice
- 2 T Worcestershire sauce
- 1 T soy sauce
- 1/2 T basil
- 1/2 T thyme
- 1/4 T black pepper
- Mix together and marinade steak for at least 4 hours!
- Grill to the level of done you prefer!
We used sirloins for this specific time and when grilled they became tender and almost caramelized the herbs on the steak! I will caution that this recipe is very heavy on the herbs and so if you aren’t a fan, I would steer clear, but I honestly loved the rich fresh flavors!
This sounds so good!
I loved it! Give it a try…I think it’s worth it!
