Shoulder steak marinade

[my_psychosis]

Hi everybody. I was hoping somebody had a good recipe for a marinade for shoulder steak that does NOT call for brown sugar. (I dont like sweet tasting meat.) Thanx in advance.

I don't usually measure a bunch, but I toss in some red wine, a bunch of minced garlic, some oil and depending on what other flavors I want, either some herbs (thyme maybe) or some soy sauce.

Do you need more specific measurements? I'd need to know how much steak you were marinating.

 

[Andy M.]

Soy sauce, ginger, garlic, white wine and peanut oil.

 

[Alix]

Ooooooooooo...ginger...yep, thats a good one!

Alix and Andy M.--just curious, why did you each choose the type wine (red/white) you did? Just preference, or some more in depth reason?

Soy sauce, garlic, minced ginger, worcestershire sauce, a tad of sugar, coarse black pepper, olive oil.
Marinate it. Put coarse black pepper on the surface and hit it with a meat mallet a bit to "embed" it.
Grill medium rare. Slice very thin and on the bias.

Yum, both sound good. Thanks. It's 2 steaks about 6 oz each.

I usually use dry sherry in Asian marinades but most people don't have that around. White wine would work better with Asian flavors than red.

I prefer the flavour of red wine in a beef marinade. I feel it has more character. Just my opinion though.

whats the best way to tenderise porterhouse steaks

 

[Gretchen]

Porterhouse need NO tenderizing. They are the next tenderest cut of beef on the cow to the filet. In fact, half of the porterhouse IS a tenderloin.
Grill and enjoy!! I do not even like to marinate good tender steaks. The meat stands alone.
