Nothing wrong with good ol terryiaki (sp?) sauce. Lance the stake multiple times with a fork, cover with sauce of choice and put it in the fridge for at least 8 hours. Yum.

Any opinions on BBQ sauce? Have to say my current choice is Cattle Boyz. Man, that stuff is amazing.

Somewhere back in history the Japanese Village Sesame sauce recipe was exposed in this forum.

I like to marinate steaks in soy sauce, worcestershire sauce and some garlic. Usually leave them about an hour and they're quite yummy.

I throw together a mixture of Italian salad dressing,BBq sauce,steak spice and a beer.Stick the steaks lots of times with a fork.Do this in the morning,then go golfing(summertime)come home, bbq your steak and finish off the other 23 beer.Now that is a good Saturday.

My presonal favourite is to sprinkle Club House Montreal steak spice on both sides, then marinate in beer. The lighter the beer the better- I try and use Coors Light that people leave behind in my fridge.

Then when grilling pour the remaining beer/spice mixture onto the steaks.

Here's a simple Southwestern Marinade that can also be used as the base for a really good bbq sauce. I'm sorry I don't have measurements but I always forget to standardize my recipes.

brown sugar
garlic
oil (olive oil preferably but you can also use canola)
sambal oleek (very spicy stuff so use to taste)
salt & pepper
lime juice
water

*you can also add fresh parsley & chili flakes when finished

to make this into a bbq sauce just add tomato paste until you have the desired texture. you can substitute chili sauce to have a bit of a sweeter taste.

here's another one if you're into really spicy stuff.

caribean jerk sauce

diced red & green peppers
diced tomatoes
diced jalapeño peppers (you can also add serrano peppers if you can find them)
diced yellow onions
salt
garlic
olive oil
crushed chilies
thyme
ground ginger
all spice
cinnmon
cloves

That's not a marinade though... I dunno, maybe you can make it as one but I haven't.

brush steaks (beef or game) with garlic, olive oil and steak salt - refrigerate over night if possible

cook rare, and serve with red wine/green peppercorn sauce

I don't really like to marinate my steaks it kinda takes away from the flavor of the meat. The trick is buy the best steak you can buy sprinkle some Montreal steak spice and then grill 4 minutes on each side. Or just go to 529 Wellington and order the porterhouse. The meal will set you back a bit but it's well worth it.

I still every now and then just make that and eat it with rice. Hits the spot every time.

Gives you onion/garlic breath though for like two days..

Don't forget Coke. It tenderizes beef.

What kind of Steaks do you buy if you need to tenderize them?

How rare is that steak?

And is that Debrovnick's? (sp)

The steak is probably close to medium rare. I got some top of the line weber bbq that cooks amazingly fast. I find that most people don't know the proper way to cook steaks (flip only once) and usually they end up just drying the heck outta em

And 529 Wellington is in Winnipeg. So far their porterhouse is the best steak i've ever had.

Tenderize (or poke holes in steak with fork) and throw it in a ziploc bag with McNally's extra ale and garlic (to your taste), salt and pepper. Let sit overnight.
