7.1 Grilling a good steak

I have eaten many steaks in my life and none have been more satisfying than the backyard-grill cooked steak. Maybe this isbecause of the relaxing nature of drinking a beer, being outside, and lounging that accompanies the grilling procedure.

Before we begin to cook I have compiled a list of ingredients.

Ingredients

• Salt
• Fresh ground pepper
• Lime
• Beer
• Chili powder
• T-Bone steak

To ensure the best flavor possible, it is necessary to marinate the beef first. A steak marinates when left to sit in marinade , or prepared sauce, where it will absorb the flavor of the ingredients. Marinating may take as little as15 minutes or as long as 6 hours and should always be done in the refrigerator and not at room temperature.

Instructions

• pour beer into large bowl
• add chili powder to tase
• squeeze half lime into beer marinade
• place steak in beer, let soak for 30 minutes

I'll be adding to this module in The Intermediate CNXML which focuses on more advanced CNXML tags. For more marinades see the Angus Beef website . Finally, a good resource is the Steak Lover's Cookbook -- William Rice .
