The best steak marinade

Hello :)

So, I believe in being thorough. I hate when I look back and realize I missed a step or an ingredient. It irks me. So this time, I'm not taking that chance. I scoured my fridge, pantry and spice racks and combined what I am convinced is the best steak marinade ever.

Ingredients:
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup Italian dressing
  • 1/8 cup Worcester sauce
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon Lawry's seasoning salt
  • 1/8 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cracked pepper
  • A pinch of basil
  • Lemon juice (optional)
Directions:
  • Combine all ingredients in a seal-able container large enough to hold the steak
  • Make sure steak is completely submerged in the marinade. If you need to, depending on the thickness of the steak, add more of the liquid ingredients to fully cover it
  • Seal container and let it sit in the fridge overnight and cook on the stove or on a grill
See? You can have it all.

Love and seasoning,
Rachael

Steak sandwich

I consider Tim to be a "man's man." He loves baseball, big dogs and most importantly, meat. My constant issue is coming up with new dishes that incorporate the meat that's been sitting in my freezer for 2 months. I came up with this steak sandwich in 3.2 seconds, because when men whine and complain over hunger, you learn to react quickly.

Ingredients:
  • Eye of rounds steak (or tenderized round steak) 
  • 1/2 onion (optional) 
  • Butter 
  • Worcestershire sauce 
  • Lawry's seasoning salt 
  •  Pepper
  • Sandwich rolls
  • Provolone cheese
Directions:
  • For optional onion topping, melt 1/4 stick of butter in a skillet
  • Slice up onion into small slivers and place in skillet with butter.
  • Cook on medium high heat for 7-10 minutes until onions are soft and light brown. Set aside.
  • Next, grab your raw steak. 
  • Slice it into thin strips and sprinkle with the Lawry's seasoning salt and some pepper. 
  • Add 1/4 stick of butter to a different skillet and turn the stove onto medium high heat.
  • Once the butter is melted, add the meat and let is sit without stirring for 1-2 minutes.
  • When the down side is browned, flip to the other side and let that side brown.
  • Add about 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce and let it simmer.
  • If you need some spice, feel free to add a few shakes of Tobasco sauce.
  • Once your meat is browned and cooked thoroughly, add your cooked onions and stir.
  • Cover the meat while we work on the rolls
  • Grab your sandwich rolls and butter both sides. 
  • Add provolone cheese.
  • Place in a broiler until rolls are golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Top with steak and onion mixture.
  • Side note: the juice in the pan serves as an amazing au jus to dip the sandwich in.
  • Serve warm with manly baked potatoes and a not-so-manly salad. Gotta keep the boys healthy.
Love and manly meals,
Rachael
