7.2 Grilling a better 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.Maybe it is because of the aroma of the grill and the beef perfectly seasoned to your taste. Either way, this module showshow a good steak can be prepared.

Ingredients

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

Ingredients

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

Marinade

To ensure the best flavor possible, it is necessary to marinate the beef. A steak marinates when left to sit in marinade , or prepared sauce, where it will absorb the flavor of the ingredients. Marinating maytake as little as 15 minutes or as long as 6 hours and should always be done in the refrigerator and not at room temperature.

Marinade

• 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

How to grill the steak will be covered in The Advanced CNXML . For more marinades see the Angus Beef website . Finally, a good resource is the Steak Lover's Cookbook -- William Rice; Paperback .
