Home-style Beef Steak
Ingredients:
- 3 pieces of beef
- Pineapple (enough to cover the beef)
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 2 tablespoons of sweet soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce
- Salt
- Pepper
Steps:
-
Prepare the Beef: Begin by thoroughly washing the beef. Once clean, cut the beef against the grain. This technique ensures the steak remains tender and easy to chew.
-
Tenderize with Pineapple: Grate the pineapple and mix it with the beef. Let it sit for about 10 minutes. The enzymes in the pineapple help to tenderize the meat, making it more succulent.
-
Create the Marinade: While the beef is tenderizing, finely chop the garlic. Combine the garlic with salt, pepper, sweet soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Add the beef to this marinade, massaging the mixture into the meat to ensure even coating. Let the beef marinate in this mixture for about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
-
Prepare for Grilling: Pierce the beef with a fork multiple times. This step helps the marinade penetrate deeper and ensures even cooking.
-
Grill to Perfection: Heat a non-stick pan or a griddle. Grill the beef until it reaches your desired level of doneness, ensuring it’s cooked evenly on both sides.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once grilled to perfection, serve the beef steak hot. Enjoy this flavorful and tender home-style beef steak with your favorite sides.
Cooking Tips:
- Marination Time: If you have more time, you can marinate the beef longer for a deeper flavor.
- Grilling: Make sure the pan is hot before placing the beef to get a nice sear on the meat.
