Steak Marinade Recipes?

[buckytom]

ok, another peeping tom bump.

interesting stuff. anyone else? buehler?

the general consensus lately seems to be to leave steaks alone, but i'm interested in marinades as i have some old, frozen steaks that will need some help.

This marinade comes from my old Joy of Cooking for both chicken and steak and it's wonderful and it made the rounds in expat Egypt.....the cook actually warmed it first, put the meat in, and then refrigerated it:

1/2 cup vegetable oil (though I think you could get by with less if the steak is marbled)
1 cup soy sauce
3 Tablespoons brown sugar
3 mashed cloves of garlic
1 Tablespoon grated fresh gingerroot
2 Tablespoons sherry ( I just used white wine)
(reserve some for basting as it makes 2 1/2 cups)

Marinate the meat 4-12 hours refrigerated. Baste with some reserved marinade during cooking.
