HOW DO YOU MAKE STEAK MARINADE?

TIPS FOR STEAK MARINADE
- If you want to cut down on salt, you can use a low sodium soy sauce.
- It is a mix of dry herbs that you can find in the spice section of most food stores. Dried basil, parsley, garlic, and oregano are often mixed together to make this flavor. You can mix equal amounts of your own dried herbs together if you can’t find Italian spice.

- This marinade is great for most beef cuts, but I like to use it on flank steak, New York strip, ribeye, T-bone, skirt steak, sirloin, or filet mignon. Check out my London broil sauce recipe if you are going to make London broil.
STEAK TEMPERATURES
To find out if your steaks are done, use a digital temperature. You can check to see if the steak is done to your liking by sticking the thermometer into the biggest part of the meat. When it comes to steak, I like mine medium-rare. If you cook your meat above 150 degrees F, it will probably be tough or dry.
Remember that you should let steaks rest for at least 5 minutes before cutting them. Because they’ll continue to cook while they rest, it’s best to take them off the heat a few degrees before you hit the temperature you want.
- Rare: 130 degrees F
- Medium Rare: 135 degrees F
- Standard Medium: 145 degrees F
- Medium Well: 150 degrees F
- Well Done: 160 degrees F
