Healthy Steak Marinade - Healthy Seasoning

Seasoned Steaks

I like my steak well seasoned with lots of aromatic, savory flavor.  Allowing your meat to sit and marinade for a few hours before cooking will afford you a far superior product.

When creating a marinade look for flavors that will compliment the meats you are marinating, for example hearty herbs like rosemary and thyme go great with beef.

A good marinade contains herbs, spices, oil and an acidic flavoring (like vinegar) which breakdown protein chains in meats, making the meat more tender.

Here is the recipe for the marinade/seasoning blend pictures above:

Ingredients:

1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp crushed chilis
2 cloves of garlic, grated
2 tsp (10 ml) soy sauce
2 tsp (10 ml) worcestershire sauce

Instructions:

Rub the marinade into the steaks, covered and refridgerate up to 24 hours (minimum of 4 hours.)

Cook to your liking.
