Ingredients
Instructions
- Soak steaks in the first five ingredients: dry Vermouth, Worcestershire sauce, A.1. sauce, pressed garlic, and onion powder.
- While charcoal grilling, baste the steaks with butter or peanut oil.
- Add dry Vermouth to the basting mixture and mix until creamy.
- Add garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, marinate the steak overnight if possible. If you don't have dry Vermouth, white wine or apple cider vinegar can work as substitutes. You can also try adding herbs like thyme or rosemary to the marinade for an aromatic touch. When grilling, ensure your grill is preheated for better searing. For a refreshing side, consider serving this with Spinach Appetizer Pinwheels.
Serving Suggestions
This steak pairs excellently with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad. Consider serving it alongside Barbecue Corn-On-The-Cob for a delightful summer meal. A side of garlic mashed potatoes or a creamy coleslaw can also complement the rich flavors of the marinade well. For a complete experience, enjoy with a glass of dry Vermouth.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover marinated steak can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, gently warm the steak on a grill or in a skillet over low heat to avoid overcooking. If reheating in the microwave, do so in short intervals to maintain moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of steak for this marinade?
Yes, this marinade works well with various cuts of steak, such as flank, sirloin, or ribeye. The key is to choose a steak that can absorb the flavors well. Thicker cuts might need longer marinating times, while thinner cuts can marinate for just a few hours.
How long should I marinate the steak?
For best results, marinate the steak for at least 1-2 hours. However, for a more intense flavor, consider marinating it overnight in the refrigerator. Just be cautious not to over-marinate, as the acidity can break down the meat too much.
Can I use this marinade for other meats?
Absolutely! This marinade is versatile and can be used for chicken or pork as well. Just adjust the marinating time based on the thickness of the meat. Chicken can be marinated for 1-3 hours, while pork can benefit from a similar time frame as steak.
