A marinated steak sandwich is a fantastic option for dinner. Pair with a simple salad and dinner is ready. Step out of your steak-comfort zone and take the time to marinate value-priced steaks like Sirloin Tip or Inside Round Marinating Steak.
Ingredients
Directions
Combine barbecue sauce, 2 tbsp of the dressing and garlic in sealable freezer bag.
Pierce steak all over with fork; add to bag. Refrigerate for 8 to 12 hours.
Pat steak dry with paper towel; season with pepper and kosher salt. Discard marinade. Grill over medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes, turning at least twice, for medium-rare doneness 145°F(63°C). Let rest for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, pan-fry onion in remaining dressing over medium heat, stirring often until soft and golden, about 10 minutes. Serve with thinly sliced steak on baguette. Top with arugula.
Cooking Tip
Marinating Steaks: to maximize tenderness grill them to MEDIUM and carve in thin slices across the grain to maximize tenderness. Like a piece of wood, meat has a grain to it – referring to the direction of the muscle fibres. Cutting across the muscle fibres, (or grain) shorten them, making the meat more tender to eat.
Marinating Tip
Discard any used marinade or bring it to a boil before using as a dipping sauce. Pat steak dry with paper towel and season before grilling to maximize browning.
Myth Buster
Marinades are all about building steak flavour and juiciness. Piercing steak all over with a fork is what helps tenderize the steak.
