Steak Marinade

Another steak marinade. 

This one had something I don't use often in marinades, Sweet Chili Sauce. It says it's optional, but I used it and boy was I glad I did. It really added a nice sweet, spicy element to the marinade. 

I'd make this again and, in fact, I think it'd be great on chicken.

Steak Marinade

Recipe from Just a Pinch

Serves 6

• 1/4 c Montreal steak seasoning
• 1 c olive oil
• 2 - 3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 Tbsp light soy sauce
• 1/2 c firmly packed brown sugar
• 1-2 Tbsp finely chopped garlic
• 2-3 Tbsp Mae Ploy Sweet Chili Sauce, optional

Mix the ingredients with a whisk until thickened or emulsified.

Place the steaks in a resealable plastic bag or casserole dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks. If you are using a good rib eye or New York strip, a couple of hours is sufficient. If you are using a leaner, less expensive cut, marinade overnight for a tender juicy steak. While the steaks are marinating, flip them a few times or massage them if they are in a baggie.

When you are ready to cook, pull the steaks out of the marinade and place them on a hot grill. Rub them around in the marinade before cooking. Don't scrape off the marinade. That's it! It's also great for a roast.
