๐ Ingredients:
- 1 cup vodka ๐ธ
- 2 tablespoons lime juice ๐
- 1 beef tenderloin steak per person (approximately 4 steaks) ๐ฅฉ
- 2-3 teaspoons seasoned salt ๐ง
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter ๐ง
- 2-3 tablespoons horseradish ๐ถ๏ธ
- Olive oil flavored cooking spray ๐ฟ
๐ Instructions:
-
Mix the Marinade:
- In a bowl, combine the bloody mary mix, vodka, and lime juice. This flavorful concoction will be the base for your steak’s marinade, infusing it with a tantalizing blend of zesty and savory flavors.
-
Marinate the Steaks:
- Place the beef tenderloin steaks in a large resealable bag or container.
- Pour the prepared marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are well coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the container, then refrigerate for at least 12 hours. This extended marinating time allows the flavors to permeate the meat, resulting in a juicy and flavorful steak.
-
Prepare the Butter Horseradish Sauce:
- While the steaks are marinating, mix the butter and horseradish in a small bowl. This tangy sauce will add a delightful kick to your finished dish.
-
Preheat the Grill:
- When you’re ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. The sizzle and sear of the grill will create those coveted grill marks and enhance the smoky flavor of the steak.
-
Season and Grill the Steaks:
- Remove the marinated steaks from the refrigerator and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Lightly spray each steak with olive oil flavored cooking spray, then sprinkle both sides with the seasoned salt. This will create a flavorful crust on the outside of the steak as it cooks.
- Place the steaks on the preheated grill and cook to your desired level of doneness. Cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of the steaks and your preference for rare, medium-rare, or well-done.
- For a medium-rare steak, grill for approximately 4-5 minutes per side. Adjust the cooking time accordingly for your preferred level of doneness.
-
Finish with Butter Horseradish Sauce:
- Once the steaks are cooked to perfection, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Top each steak with a generous dollop of the butter horseradish sauce. The creamy, tangy sauce will melt into the warm steak, creating a mouthwatering flavor combination.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Plate up your Bloody Mary Marinated Steaks and get ready to savor every delicious bite! ๐ด
- Pair with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, garlic mashed potatoes, or a crisp garden salad.
- Don’t forget a refreshing beverage to complement the bold flavors of the steak, perhaps another Bloody Mary or a chilled glass of white wine.
