Answer 1

New your strip is an awesome steak! It usually does not need to be marinated. Here is how I would do them...

Take them out of the fridge an hour before you plan to cook them.
Season both sides liberally with salt and freshly ground black pepper or better yet a gourmet pepper blend (melange).

Cover and let stand at room temperature at least 1/2 hour and preferably 1 hour.

Grill over hot coals or high heat on preheated gas grill about 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Please don't cook these lovely steaks more than medium!

Answer 2

No marinade make a dry rub it gives more flavor. But make sure when you cut the steak cut short grains it may not look as good but it will be more tender and always feel for doneness with your fingers if you cut into your meat it will dry out and you could hardly see. When the steaks come off the grill you must let the steaks sit for about 5 min to lock in all the juices.

STEAK MARINADE
1 Cup Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp. Molasses
2 Large onions chopped
2 Cloves Garlic
¼ Cup Gravy Master
1 Tsp. MSG
1 Tsp. Kosher Salt

Combine all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Put steak in a large zip lock bag. Pour in marinade and put in refrigerator, move meat around in marinade every day.
2 days for steaks under 1” thick
3 to 4 days for steaks 1” to 1 ½”
4 to 5 days for steaks over 1 ½”
Do not marinade for more than 5 days.

Note: Keep bag in coldest part of refrigerator.

Note: Do not remove any marinade that sticks to steak, it will make a very nice crust.

Answer 4

Mix 1 cup Italian dressing, 1/2 cup worstershire, 1/2 cup honey bbq sauce, 1 tsp garlic power, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tbsp cajun seasoning (or just salt and pepper if you don't like cajun) in a bowl. Roll steaks to coat. Marinate covered in refridgerator for at least an hour. Brush grill with oil to prevent sticking. Preheat grill and grill for 10 minutes on each side for inch thick steaks. Will make even the toughest cut of beef melt in your mouth, and leaves only a slightly sweet BBQ taste to the meat. Your guests won't even recogonize it as BBQ sauce.

Answer 5

My favorite marinade is Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, in equal amounts to which I add minced garlic (I like garlic so I put in about 2 tablespoonful), half a teaspoon of red pepper flakes and the zest of one lemon. Mix together in a large food storage bag, add the steak, making sure that the steak gets coated, refrigerate for two hours.

I realize that I didn't tell you how much liquid to put in, That depends on the number of steaks. I use half cup of each for four steaks.

I hope this helps. Have a great dinner party!

Answer 6

I always create my own recipes. Try making one yourself. I use real butter, honey (sweetened to taste), my favorite BBQ sauce (just enough for flavor) and Liquid Smoke. Add garlic powder, onion powder and pepper to taste, no salt because it pulls the moisture out of the meat and makes it dry. I heat it all in the microwave to blend it all together and then pour some in a baking pan, lay the steaks on that and then coat the top of them with the rest of the marinade. They are always delicious that way.

A tangy marinade and sauce for all types of steak. Flavorful but not too spicy. Can easily be doubled

Answer 8

I would say to mix Olive Oil, Garlic, Rosemary and Lemon Juice along with a bit of Montreal Steak Spice.

Answer 9

New York steak is so good, I don't think it needs a marinade. but you could use Italian salad dressing.

Answer 10

Actually, Coca-cola is a great marinade - it really breaks down the meat and removes bitterness from charred bits.

My personal favourite is red wine, crushed garlic, pepper and a dash of vinegar.
