What do you marinate your steaks in?

[medako]

I just can't bring myself to put any sort of marinade on a good steak.

The same goes for any type of sauce - just ruins it!

 

[tgoforth1984]

I use soy sauce and McCormicks seasoning. If you add some meat tenderizer, it really does help to make the steak easier to eat. Any of the McCormicks seasonings are great to use.

When it is a good cut of steak, all we usually use is salt and pepper. It's hard to find a good steak around here sometimes.

I marinate my steak all the time - I use soy sauce, lemon, honey, ketchup, garlic and lots of onions.

I don't usually marinate my steaks but I like sauces with them. I like this one mostly. and Emerli's Blue Cheese Butter

Emeril's Blue Cheese Butter
Emeril Lagasse – Food Network

Makes about 7 ounces



Ingredients

4 ounces blue cheese, softened (about 1 cup)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons minced shallots
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt Ground black pepper



Directions

1. In a bowl, cream together all the ingredients. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

2. Place mixture on a large sheet of plastic wrap. Form into a fat cylinder and roll up in the plastic wrap, pushing and tucking in as you go to form a tight log. Refrigerate or freeze until needed.




Notes It is very important to use shallots in this recipe. Another little tip is to put the shallots and garlic into the food processor, pulse a couple of times add the butter, lemon juice, Worcestershire, and blue cheese pulse a couple of times to blend. Then spread on your plastic wrap.
