Ingredients

  • 1/2 c. oil
  • 1/4 c. soy sauce
  • 1/2 c. red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp. ground ginger
  • 2 small garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 1/2 tsp. curry powder
  • 1 Tbsp. ketchup
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. Tabasco sauce (optional)

Tips & Substitutions

For a richer flavor, consider using olive oil instead of regular oil. You can substitute the red wine vinegar with balsamic vinegar for a sweeter taste. If you want to reduce sodium, opt for low-sodium soy sauce. Don't skip the marinating time; letting the steak sit overnight allows the flavors to penetrate deeply, resulting in a more flavorful dish. Experiment with adding herbs like rosemary or thyme for an aromatic twist.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the marinated steak with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad; it pairs beautifully with Thai-Style Cucumber Salad for a refreshing crunch. Consider serving it with Fried Zucchini Squash for a delightful contrast in textures. A scoop of creamy mashed potatoes or a quinoa salad can also complement the flavors well.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover marinade in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you have leftover marinated steak, it can be kept in an airtight container for up to three days. To reheat, gently warm the steak in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, which helps maintain its tenderness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this marinade for chicken or pork?

Absolutely! This marinade works wonderfully for chicken or pork as well. Just ensure to adjust the marinating time based on the type of meat; chicken usually needs about 4-6 hours, while pork can marinate overnight for optimal flavor.

What type of steak is best for this marinade?

For best results, use cuts like flank steak, sirloin, or ribeye. These cuts absorb flavors well and remain tender when marinated. Avoid very lean cuts like filet mignon, as they may not benefit as much from the marinade.

Can I grill the steak after marinating?

Yes! Grilling the steak after marinating is a fantastic way to achieve a smoky flavor. Make sure to preheat your grill and cook the steak to your desired doneness. A few minutes on each side should do the trick, depending on the thickness of the steak.
