Today is my daughter's 5th birthday, and she is my carnivore. She loves to eat meat, especially steak. So, guess what we are having for dinner? Steak.....and corn! In our family, I marinate the steak, and my husband cooks it on the grill. I frequently end up cooking the corn, because my kids prefer when we cook the corn in the microwave. (My husband and I prefer to cook the corn on the grill, but the kids outweigh us when we are making it specifically for them.)
Our marinade is sweet and simple. We have used it on different cuts of beef, and it always complements it well. It is loosely based on a recipe that my brother uses, and his children call it "Daddy's special sauce." We always enjoyed it when we visited him, so we came up with our own version. Here it is.
Steak Marinade
2 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon tarragon vinegar
Mix all of the ingredients together in a Ziploc bag. Marinate the steak in this mixture for at least 30 minutes. Continue brushing the marinade over steak while grilling.
Enjoy!

Soy sauce I'd not gluten free.
ReplyDeleteJodi, there are many soy sauces that are not gluten free. However, there are some gluten free soy sauces. Kikkoman is typically not gluten free, but there is one gluten free option. There are also some generic brands that are gluten free too. Check the asian aisle at your supermarket, and you might be surprised to find one that you can eat.
