I thought long and hard about putting this secret family recipe on my blog and allowing the world access to my favorite meal lol.....but then I thought, the world should definitely have the ability to have the best steak marinade ever!! This recipe came from my mom who got it from my mama and who knows where she got it from. I like to think mama created it herself. For many of you, if you have had dinner at my mom's, you have probably had this steak at one point in time. While I have made this for myself many a time, it never quiet tastes like it did when my mama made or when my mom makes it now. I am pretty sure that is because it is missing a key ingredient.....love! For this amazing recipe you will need the following:
1 flank steak
2 tsp of meat tenderizer
2 tbsp of instant minced onion
1 tsp of marjoram
2 tsp of thyme
1 crush bay leaf
1 cup of red wine vinegar
1/2 of cooking oil (or olive oil)
3 tbsp of lemon juice
1/4 cup of coarse pepper or 2 tbsp of regular pepper
Cut slits in the steak, across the grain. Sprinkle both sides of steak with the meat tenderizer.
Mix together all other ingredients and pour over the steak. Let it marinate for 12-24 hours or more in the refrigerator, turning occasionally. The longer it sits the stronger the flavor.
Pour off the mixture, setting some aside for au jus.
Grill the steak about 10 minutes a side, or longer, depending on how you like your steak.
