Love Connection Steak Marinade Recipes

Steps:

• Poke steak with a fork liberally all over and place into a zip lock bag.
• Mince garlic finely or push through a garlic press, add to bag.
• Finely crush Star Anise in a spice grinder or with a morter and pestle, add to bag.
• Add remaining ingredients to bag and seal well (I usually double bag at this point). Shake and squeeze bag to distribute all seasonings evenly. Marinade at least 2 hours, and up to 24 hours, turning occasionally to marinate all sides evenly.
• Grill steak to desired doneness on a grill or a grill pan. Depending on the size of the steak and how you like it -- we like it med-rare and usually a 3/4 -1 inch steak on a high grill takes approximately 7 or 9 mins per side.
• Slice against the grain into 1/4 - 1/2 inch slices.
• I usually double the marinade, use half for the marinading, and then reduce the remaining part until it's thickened (sometimes adding a bit of cornstarch), boiling for about 10 minutes at a rolling boil, and pour it over the steaks when they're done.
• It's only my pride that keeps me from licking the plate when we make this recipe.
• I've served this with mashed potatoes, or rice and veggies (great with brussel sprouts, asparagus, or sauteed swiss chard). And leftovers are great cold on a green salad.

Steps:

• Whisk all ingredients together and marinate as desired.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in blender and pour over steaks.
• Marinate over night and grill.

Steps:

• Place onion, garlic, ginger root, jalapeño pepper, soy sauce, and honey in a blender. (if you don't have jalapeño peppers, you can use red pepper flakes) Blend until it looks like a mushy sauce. It will look weird but it's just the marinade. :).
• Put sauce in a gallon zipper bag and put flank steak inside. Marinate overnight.
• Take steak out of marinade, pat dry with a paper towel and coat with oil. Discard marinade.
• Put on grill and don't keep playing with it! Let it sit on each side for 5 minutes.
• Take off grill and let it sit for 5 minutes before cutting into it. (This will allow the juices to be reabsorbed into the meat without it running out with the first cut into the steak).
• Cut steak at an angle, against the grain and very thin. Serve.
