Ingredients
For the marinade
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons of salt
- 2-3 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of ketchup
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon of pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon of oregano
For the steak
- 3 lbs. sirloin steak
Instructions
-
Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mash the minced garlic and salt together to form a paste. Then, add soy sauce, ketchup, vegetable oil, pepper, and oregano. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
🧄 This step is key for maximizing the flavor! The salt will help to draw out some moisture from the garlic, enhancing its taste and making it truly aromatic.
-
Score the Steak: Carefully score the steak on each side, making 1/4-inch deep cuts. This will allow the marinade to penetrate better and also create a beautiful crust when grilling.
-
Marinate the Steak: Place the scored steak in a shallow dish, pour the marinade over it, cover, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours (or overnight for even more flavor!).
📅 Preparing the steak a day in advance allows the flavors to meld beautifully, making the final dish even tastier.
-
Grill the Steak: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Grill the steak for about 15 minutes on one side and then 10 minutes on the other.
🔥 Cooking times may vary based on the thickness of your steak and personal preference for doneness. Use a meat thermometer for perfect results: 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium.
-
Serve: Once grilled to your liking, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Cut into strips and serve warm.
🍽️ Serve it alongside grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a light salad for a beautiful presentation!
Variations
- Marinade Twist: Add a splash of balsamic vinegar or your favorite hot sauce for an extra kick! 🌶️
- Herb Infusion: Incorporate fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme into the marinade for a fragrant aroma.
- Steak Alternatives: This marinade works wonderfully with chicken or tofu, making it versatile for different diets!
Enjoy your Aileen's Steak Continental, perfect for gatherings or a satisfying meal any night of the week! 🥳
