So, I have been into cooking for this couple of month, nothing too exotic, just something that I could whipped out in a couple of minutes, primarily just to get something nice to take picture of, and the wife happens to approve And since my updates on this blog has been few and far between, I decided to spice things up a bit… see what I did there? Spice up.. cooking.. get it? Nevermind.
Today will be about your basic barbecue steak, nothing fancy.
OK, on with the ingredients, I can’t put measurements because.. well I don’t do that :
Steak :
- I’m not picky about steak cut, but I love rib eye. If you’re in Jakarta, Lotte Mart has excellent range of products to select from, starting from a wallet-friendly local rib eye, to expensive imported wagyu tenderloin.
Steak marinade:
- Worcestershire sauce,
- Balsamic vinegar,
- Black pepper, grounded,
- Mustard,
- salt,
Barbecue sauce:
- Ketchup,
- Worcestershire sauce,
- Balsamic vinegar,
- Black pepper, grounded,
- Garlic, minced. Garlic powder will also do just fine
- Brown sugar,
- Honey,
- Onions, chopped
- salt, to taste
- Olive oil, to grease the pan
Start with mixing all the marinade ingredients together, and marinade the meat. It should take between 2 hours to overnight on refrigerator. Take it out 30 minutes before grilling, and let it sit on room temperature.
Next, the barbecue sauce. Heat up a sauce pan with olive oil over medium heat, add in the chopped onions, cook it until soft. Add in garlic, and continue for about a minute or two. Lower the heat and add in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper, and stir and simmer a couple of minutes. Add in brown sugar and honey.
I prefer to grill my steak to medium, so it will take between 5-7 minutes on each side.
Done!
