DAD'S SALTED STEAK WITH (OR WITHOUT) GARLIC



Dad's Salted Steak With (Or Without) Garlic image

My dad taught me this one. Awesome for a quick dinner with boiled, mashed, or any other kind of potatoes and a salad (especially a nice garlicky Ceasar). Living in beef country, we buy steaks on sale (good cuts are sometimes marked down as cheap as or cheaper than ground beef), and wrap, bag, and freeze until we're ready to eat them. (Freezing also tenderizes them a bit, so even cheaper cuts are really gooood.) Slicing the steak and putting in the garlic is optional, but why would you omit it? It's sooooo goooood. You can also add pepper right before you do the salt, but we find it detracts from the garlic and beef and salt flavors.

Time 18m

Yield 1-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 steak, per serving your preferred cut and size (defrosted if frozen, go for the best you can afford, it's worth it)
1 whole fresh head of garlic
kosher salt

Steps:

  • Slice cloves of garlic thinly, the long way (about 1 to 1 1/2 cloves per steak, depending on size and how much you like garlic).
  • Make several cuts, about 1 to 2 inches long, against the grain of the steak. Go almost all the way through, but not quite, to form "pockets" in the steak.
  • Place a slice or two of garlic in each of the "pockets", and squish back together.
  • Liberally and evenly sprinkle kosher salt on top of the steak. Flip over and do the same on the other side, being careful not to disturb the garlic hidden deep within the meat.
  • Let the steaks rest while you prepare the broiler or grill. If you're using the broiler, be sure to put aluminum foil on your broiler pan (and remember to cut the slits) to avoid a mess.
  • Broil or grill the steaks to desired doneness, turning once. Mmmmmmmmmm.

DAD'S SIMPLE STEAK MARINADE



Dad's Simple Steak Marinade image

This recipe is one my father taught me. It is the simplest homemade marinade! Just 5 common ingredients! When used overnight, the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic make flank, skirt and sirloin steaks flavorful and, most importantly, tender for the grill! For more flavor, add Kosher salt and cracked black pepper to your steak while it cooks. Red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar may be substituted for the red wine.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Flaky sea salt or kosher salt
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon dill seeds
1 clove garlic, minced
4 boneless New York strip steaks (12 to 14 ounces each)
Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
1 pound small tomatoes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Spread 2 tablespoons salt, the coriander seeds, peppercorns, paprika, red pepper flakes, dill seeds and minced garlic in an even layer on the baking sheet and roast until the garlic is dry, about 30 minutes; let cool. Transfer to a spice grinder and pulse several times. (The spiced salt can be made up to 1 week ahead; store in an airtight container.)
  • Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 1 hour before grilling to bring to room temperature; sprinkle each side with 1/2 teaspoon of the prepared spiced salt, then cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
  • Preheat a grill to high and prepare for indirect grilling: On a charcoal grill, bank the coals to one side; on a gas grill, turn off half of the burners. Wipe the salt off the steaks and pat dry; brush lightly with olive oil. Grill over direct heat until marked on the bottom, about 2 minutes, then rotate 90 degrees F and cook 2 more minutes. Flip the steaks and repeat on the other side, then transfer to the cooler side of the grill (indirect heat); cook 5 more minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, grill the tomatoes over direct heat, turning, until marked, about 5 minutes. Serve with the steaks and the remaining spiced salt.
