Easy Delicious Steak Marinade

How do you cook your grilled steak? This Steak Marinade Recipe is the perfect combination of sweet and savory.

A few weeks ago I asked my readers on my Walking on Sunshine Facebook Page if they could share a recipe for steak marinade. So many delicious recipes and ideas were shared, that I couldn't make up my mind on which one to choose.

The recipe I came up with is a combination from the ones that everyone shared and then I added a few other ingredients that I love.

How to Make the Steak Marinade

This recipe combines my love for sweetness and savory all in one.  It's best to let the steak marinade for at least 2 hours...longer is always better.  I like to marinade my steak overnight if possible, but a few hours is fine.

What I love about this steak marinade is that I reserve a cup of it before adding it to the steak. While the steak is cooking, I'll add the reserve marinade to a small saucepan and let it cook down until it's reduced and thickened.

Then you can just drizzle this over the cooked steak and it is a little taste of heaven on top of delicious steak!

An oldie from the site that really needs to be updated with new photos, but this is my son's favorite side dish.  I always try to make twice baked potatoes with grilled steak when Michael is home for dinner.

You can even make these potatoes ahead of time and freeze before baking.  Then remove the desired number of potatoes you need for a meal from the freezer and bake!
