Marinated Sirloin Steaks for 2

By Addie

Asian meets Mediterranean in this flavorful, sweet-and- spicy marinade from Sarah Vasques of Milford, New Hampshire “The blend of honey and soy sauce really works well with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar,” she notes. Her marinade is also great when grilling New York strip steaks.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup honey
• 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 2 garlic cloves, peeled
• 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
• 2 beef top sirloin steaks (4 ounces each)
• 3 green onions, sliced

Preparation

Step 1

In a blender, combine the honey, soy sauce, oil, vinegar, garlic and pepper; cover and process until blended. Pour 1/3 cup marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add steaks and onions. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for basting.

Drain and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill steaks, covered, over medium-hot heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°), basting occasionally with reserved marinade. Yield: 2 servings.

REVIEWS:

On one hand I didn't like it, on the other I see its potential... I didn't BBQ it on a grill, rather cooked it in the oven I'm wondering if that made a difference. It is very sweet.. might be good for a kid that is a picky eater!

Very sweet and tender. I marinated it for about 6 hours and it was great.

Whatever happened to eating a good steak for what it is?

I am always on the lookout for a good marinade recipe. Thanks for this one. I will have to try it soon.
