Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup A.1. steak sauce
  • 1/4 cup dry sherry
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons choy sauce
  • 1 large clove garlic, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

  1. Marinate the steak overnight in the prepared marinade.
  2. Broil the steak on the grill until cooked to desired doneness.

Tips & Substitutions

For a deeper flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce to the marinade. If you don't have dry sherry, white wine or apple cider vinegar can work as substitutes. If you prefer a sweeter marinade, increase the brown sugar slightly. Make sure to marinate the steak in a sealed bag or container to ensure even coverage.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the broiled steak with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with Easy Pot Roast And Gravy or can be sliced and served in a Beefsteak Roll. Consider offering a dipping sauce like chimichurri or a garlic aioli for added flavor.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover marinade in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you've marinated the steak and have leftovers, keep them in a tightly sealed container; they can be refrigerated for up to three days. Reheat the steak in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave, covered, to avoid drying it out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this marinade for other types of meat?

Yes, this marinade works well with chicken and pork. Just adjust the marinating time to about 30 minutes for chicken and 1 hour for pork, depending on the cut.

How long should I marinate the steak?

Marinating overnight is ideal for maximum flavor, but you can marinate for at least 2 hours if you're short on time. The longer you marinate, the more pronounced the flavors will be.

What should I do if I don't have A.1. steak sauce?

If you don't have A.1. steak sauce, you can create a similar flavor by mixing equal parts of ketchup and Worcestershire sauce, along with a dash of vinegar for tanginess.
