I learned to make steak from an uncle that believed dinner consisted of steaks and potatoes. I perfected my own recipe when I started cooking it on my own, only about 5 nights a week for a few bachelor years in my early 20’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These days, the marinade is a little different every time as I adjust between various liquid marinades, dry rubs, and even sometimes BBQ sauces. This recipe is one of the most well-liked, and I highly recommend cooking it over a good charcoal grill with a few chunks of hickory wood thrown in. I list other ways to cook as well, though, because I know you don’t always have time or the place for a charcoal grill. Aim for medium-rare please– don’t kill it with that well-done attitude when it comes to steak!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most important steps of a tender steak is using a good meat tenderizer such as the XSpecial Meat Tenderizer Tool<\/a>. In a pinch, you can also just use a pair of sturdy forks and poke both sides of your steak. For best results, go to the butcher and get a tenderloin cut. Unless you have a Costco nearby, it is very hard to find 1-1\/2″ thick tenderloin cuts laying out at the grocery store.<\/p>\n\n\n
