Mis-steak Marinade

My cheat sheet for steak. 

Every now and then we all like a good piece of steak for dinner. Living in Alberta we have that luxury of getting great beef.

This is my favorite marinade for steak and as the title states it was by mis-steak. Ha ha get it mis-steak? Mistake? *ahem* Anyways. I know I know we shouldn't put anything other than salt and pepper and let the meat speak for itself. But think about it what do we do when we get our steaks? We sauce it up with either mustard or HP sauce, am I right?

I like to pan fry my steaks, that's right I said it P-A-N......F-R-Y. BBQ enthusiasts would call this blasphemy, but I think it's awesome and it tastes great! Each to their own I guess. I usually buy the fast fry steaks which are a lot thinner than your regular steak or I get the prime rib slices. You just need to turn on the stove to med-high heat sear both sides for about 3-4 mins and voila! you got medium rare steak. If you go with the regular cut then you may have to cook the steak at a lower temp then turn it on high to sear it.

Anyways back to the marinade, what you will need (measurements are estimates you can either increase or decrease to your liking):
- 4 steaks
- about 4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
- 4 tbsp Club House Montreal steak spice seasoning (if the steaks are big use a bit more)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Garlic powder

In a big mixing bowl rub the olive oil all over the steak, it helps the seasoning stick to the steak. Add steak seasoning, garlic salt and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator and let it marinade for min of 20 mins to overnight. Whenever you're ready to eat take it out let it warm up to room temperature and fry!

I usually eat this with rice and side of salad or with mash potato with corn. It's great the next day for breakfast (steak and eggs) or for lunch (steak sandwich)!

Doesn't that look delicious?!

Hope you like it and as always happy eating!
