Dads Salted Steak With Or Without Garlic Recipes

DAD'S SALTED STEAK WITH (OR WITHOUT) GARLIC

Steps:

• Slice cloves of garlic thinly, the long way (about 1 to 1 1/2 cloves per steak, depending on size and how much you like garlic).
• Make several cuts, about 1 to 2 inches long, against the grain of the steak. Go almost all the way through, but not quite, to form "pockets" in the steak.
• Place a slice or two of garlic in each of the "pockets", and squish back together.
• Liberally and evenly sprinkle kosher salt on top of the steak. Flip over and do the same on the other side, being careful not to disturb the garlic hidden deep within the meat.
• Let the steaks rest while you prepare the broiler or grill. If you're using the broiler, be sure to put aluminum foil on your broiler pan (and remember to cut the slits) to avoid a mess.
• Broil or grill the steaks to desired doneness, turning once. Mmmmmmmmmm.

GARLIC STEAK WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Whisk minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a bowl, then pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the steaks, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
• Combine 12 garlic cloves and 1 cup olive oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is golden and tender, about 30 minutes. Set aside.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Remove steaks from bag, wiping off excess marinade with paper towels. Generously season steaks with salt and black pepper.
• Cook the steaks on the prepared grill until they start to firm and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove steaks to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Drizzle balsamic vinegar over steaks, then spoon a few cloves of oil-roasted garlic on top.

DAD'S SIMPLE STEAK MARINADE

Steps:

• Whisk together the vegetable oil, soy sauce, red wine, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic in a bowl, and pour into a resealable plastic bag.
• To use the marinade, place the meat in the bag, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator 8 hours to overnight. Discard the marinade after it has been used.

DAD'S GRILLING STEAK MARINADE

DAD'S MINUTE STEAK WITH GOLDEN ONIONS

Steps:

• Mix the wine, soy sauce, mustard and sugar in a big bowl. Toss in the steak strips, season well with pepper and leave to sit and soak while you get everything else ready.
• Pour the oil into a large frying pan and heat it up over a medium heat for a minute or so. Tip in the onion slices, turn the heat up to very high and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often to get the onions really golden brown. Take the onions out and keep them warm.
• Lift the steak strips out of the marinade with a slotted spoon and stir fry them in the onion pan over a very high heat for 30 seconds (do it in two batches if it's easier). Pour in the marinade from the bowl and boil for a few seconds until it sticks to the meat but is still juicy. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
• Toast the bread and then spread with the garlic butter and cut each slice in half. Overlap two pieces of toast on each plate, top with a spoonful of onions, then the steak and more onions. Put a little pile of watercress on each plate and serve straightaway.
