Steak Marinade, Quick and Easy Recipe #39145
This turns an average grocerty store bought steak into a good restaurant tasting steak. It takes only minutes to prepare and marinade can be for 30 minutes to overnight. Ooh, so good!
by Keri Caldwell
20 min | 5 min prep
SERVES 2 -3
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons minced garlic, from jar is fine
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Mix it all together and marinade steak for 30 minutes to overnight.
Garlic will be stronger the longer you marinade.
Don't be afraid of the garlic it makes the steak taste wonderful!
Either grill the steaks or pan fry them in butter.
Either way they're great!
I do both; I grill them til they're almost done then finish the cooking by pan frying.
This turns an average grocery store steak into a delicious good restaurant tasting steak.

Yummy!!! I have a subscription to Cooking Light. Some delicious yummy recipes on there. You can also find there recipes on myrecipes.com. I have definitely going to check out good eats. I need to figure out a good side dish for both Thanksgiving dinners I am attending. Morgan and I are all about brussel sprouts (and I have a couple awesome recipes), but we know that not many other folks follow our passion for the sprout. Peace.
Yum...I'll have to try this! after reading your blog i came across this recipe in the whole foods magazine and thought of you...I'm gonna have to try this one too! xo

Bake for 1 1/2 hours until soft in the center (but not through the bottom of the skin)
Remove from the oven but leave oven on. Make a slit down the center of the potato scoop out the flesh of the potato, leaving a thin wall of flesh to retain the shape of the potato.
Return the skins the pan.
Mash the flesh of the potatoes with olive oil & cumin. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Scoop mixture back int the hallowed skins. Sprinkle stuffed potatoes with the cheese & half of the diced bell peppers and return to the oven baking for 10 minutes or until cheese melts.
Meanwhile whisk together sour cream & lime juice in a small bowl.
