Mark's Soy Garlic Steak

By Mark Wood

Ingredients:

Soy sauce, (light if you must)
5 or 6 fresh garlic cloves (or more if you like!)
Steak

Directions:

Crush a bunch of garlic cloves into a zip lock baggie, and then pour in some soy sauce. Zip it and mix it, add meat, zip and massage after squeezing out the air.

Only needs to marinate for a couple hours, the soy really soaks in fast, pulling the garlic with it. Overnight marinating is really good and strong.

Grill medium rare, preferably a filet, ny strip, or thick meaty ribeye, but I've done it on chicken too, although chicken is an overnight soak. Our butcher has $7 / lb tenderloins this really works well on.

Grilling method:
Get coals hot as you can, leaving half the coal grate empty. Sear steaks on each side for 60 seconds, remove to indirect side of grill and close cover. Leave vents wide open to create a super hot oven, I like mine at 450 degrees plus. Usually one flip at 5-7 minutes on each side indirect should be close if you have a hot grill. Use a thermometer if you want, I usually go by the firmness of the steak. The softer the more rare, keep checking the center firmness as they cook to get a feel.
