Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients except the beef; pour over the meat in a covered container.
- Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
- Grill the meat to your own taste for medium to medium-rare or well done, using the remainder of the marinade for a basting sauce.
Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the marinade. If you don't have red wine, red grape juice can serve as a good substitute. To enhance the garlic flavor, you can use fresh minced garlic instead of garlic salt. When grilling, let the steaks rest for a few minutes before slicing to retain their juices. This dish pairs beautifully with Bestemore'S Baked Beans.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the grilled steaks with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. A baked potato or garlic bread complements the dish well. For a complete dinner, consider pairing it with Joe'S Quick Chili or a hearty grain like quinoa or couscous for added texture and flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover grilled steaks can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the steak in a skillet over low heat, adding a bit of broth or water to keep it moist, or microwave in short bursts. Avoid overcooking to maintain tenderness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this marinade for other types of meat?
Absolutely! This marinade works well with chicken, pork, or even tofu for a vegetarian option. Just adjust the marinating time accordingly; chicken may need about 2-4 hours, while pork can be marinated similarly to steak.
How long should I marinate the meat?
For best results, marinate the meat for at least 4 hours, but overnight is ideal as it allows the flavors to penetrate deeply. If you're short on time, even 30 minutes can impart some flavor, but longer is recommended for tenderness and taste.
What temperature should I grill the steaks?
Preheat your grill to high heat, around 450-500°F (232-260°C), for a nice sear. For medium-rare, grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, while medium may require an additional minute or two. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy, aiming for 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
