Garlic Balsamic Steak
I don't cook beef often but every once in a while I decide to try something new for the sake of John. I picked up some steaks at the food store and found this recipe online for a steak marinade that had some of our favorite ingredients- balsamic vinegar and garlic! It was great! I didn't get a good picture of the steak, but this marinade was great!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons garlic, minced
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring (omitted)
1 pinch cayenne pepper (I used cajun seasoning because it was what I had on hand)
Directions:
1- Stir the ingredients together. In a shallow dish, pour the marinade over the steak.
2- Allow it to sit in the marinade for several hours. I let it sit 8 hours, the original recipe said 24-48 hours... but honestly after 8 hours it was perfectly permeated with the taste!
3- Cook according to your prefered method (I grilled mine on my grill pan).

This marinade looks great. I bet it would be good with chicken too.
