"I did not climb to the top of the food chain to be a vegetarian" !!!

If you ever have a tough steak to tenderize try this marinade:

1 can Coca-Cola
2 TBSP Balsamic Vinegar (or whatever vinegar you might have)
1 TBSP Oil (I like GrapeSeed for its high smoke point)
1 TBSP McCormicks Montreal Steak Seasoning
1 tsp Liquid Smoke

Depending on the cut.....2hr-24hrs in the fridge
Oh yeah...make sure you FORK the meat on both sides

Works great on Top Sirloin and London Broil

music matters

A great topic - steaks are my favourite and I love to cook!

In my opinion it depends on the cut:

Fillet Steak - such a treat , tender naturally - just grill it (anything above medium rare would be a shame!) and enjoy!

Sirloin Steak - my favourite - needs marinading in my opinion to make it more tender, but is sooooo tasty. My favourite marinade is an Italian one. 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon fresh chopped rosemary, 1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic and half a teaspoon of freshly ground salt and half a teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Mix these in a jug and then put the steaks in a plastic sealable bag (available from the supermarkets) and put the marainade in and seal with no air inside for about 8-12 hours in the fridge). Grill your staek and then be in steak heaven. Honestly it's a great recipe that everyone I hav cooked for has loved. Let your steak sit out at room temperature 30 mins before cooking it for best results, and after cooking it let it rest for 5 minutes. Mmmmm.

I only have sirloin or fillet steak - otherwise I roast a joint and cut it into teaks. A Rib eye Roast roasted on the BBQ with Hickory wood and then carved into steaks is also very delicious.....but that's another story......(!)

Enjoy!

I agree with that, except lose the mustard.
