Steak Marinades

Okay, steaks are NOT cheap. But if you’re going to splurge, get the most of the meat! Sometimes, all I like to do is sprinkle garlic salt and seasoned or plain pepper on the steaks a few minutes before grilling. Other times I like to marinade them.

I like to use a freezer bag to hold the meat and marinade. Just flip the bag over in the frig periodically, without having to uncover the dish and turn the meat over. You can also freeze meat with the marinade, making it easy to mix up a big batch of your favorite marinade and then have it a few times over the next few months.

Here are a few ideas:
