Cooking Question:How do you spice and cook your meat?

[Lachesis00]

I am going to do up steak tonight and I was just curious how people cook their steaks (pan? broil? BBQ?) and what spices do you use before cooking?

We like to grill ours. I used to beat the heck out of it with a meat tenderizer & then marinate in Newman's Own Balsamic Viniagrette for a couple hours. (Don't know how long to grill each side as DH does that. ) When it's too cold out to grill (or we run out of propane, we broil.)

Ever since our stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge, however, we only make this one:

FLANK STEAK MARINADE (or any kind of steak
For 1½ lb steak

½ c Ginger
¼ c Garlic
¼ c Sugar
½ Tbl Cardamom, ground
1 Tbl Coriander, ground
½ Tbl Turmeric, ground
1 Tbl Thyme
½ Tbl Crushed Pepper
1 Tbl Worcestershire Sauce
½ c Soy Sauce, low sodium


Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Add steak & marinate for 4 to 24 hours. (The longer the better, but it's really tasty after only 4!)
Note: It’s very thick, not like a “normal” marinade.

We ususally just grill our steaks. Where we live, we can do this year 'round.

I don't do anything to the steak before DH puts it on the grill!

Just before it's done, a quick sprinkling of Lawry's Seasoned Salt and pepper and that's it!

(You have to have a pretty good cut of steak to do this -- we usually use a top sirloin.)

I like to use a seasoning called Monteray Steak Seasoning. Many different companies make it and you can get it in most spice sections of the grocery store. Its a little peppery, spicy taste.

We usually use salt, pepper, and garlic powder

or sometimes one of Emeril's seasonings

or a great all-purpose seasoning called Cavender's.
