BRAAI-SPICED T-BONE STEAKS



Braai-Spiced T-Bone Steaks image

Grilling meat is practically the South African national sport, crossing lines of wealth, geography and even race. Braai means grill in Afrikaans, and some say it's the only word recognized in all of the country's 11 official languages. There's no reason this braai sout, a fragrant dry rub, can't be used on steaks other than a T-bone. But the T-bone has had special status there since Archbishop Desmond Tutu, as part of a campaign to bring all South Africans together around the braai, pointed out that the shape of that steak mimics the shape of Africa itself. Serve with whole potatoes roasted in the coals, and drink beer or one of South Africa's excellent wines.

SWEET STEAK MARINADE



Sweet Steak Marinade image

An amazing recipe by my boyfriends family for a summer steak on the barbie! Best steak I've had yet, no joke!

Provided by ashleylaren-ca

Time 10m

Yield Makes Pieces

Number Of Ingredients 13

Here are the simiple ingredients you'll need for this amazing marinade:
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp apple juice
3 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp ginger
2-3 garlic cloves
2 cups soy sauce
4 tbsp apple juice
4tbspn brown sugar
1-2 tsp ginger
3 garlic cloves
both work amazingly!
and should marinade 4-5 personal steaks.

Steps:

  • Simply mix all ingredients together in the pan you plan to marinade your steaks in. Swirl your finger in the marinade before you add your steaks to determine if you'd like to add more of anything.
  • Poke your thawed steaks with a fork 5 times on each side, this will help it soak up the marinade. Then add your steaks to the sweet marinade.
  • I let my steaks marinade on each side for 4 hours, for a total of 8 hours. My boyfriend let's his steaks sit on one sided over night and then the other side while he's at work the next day. So depending on your time and preference of flavour you can marinade for 4-48 hours.
  • Cook you're steaks on the barbie or in the oven how you usually would. For extra flavor you can sprinkle some of your favourite steak seasoning before cooking or eat it with bbq sauce after cooked!
