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!
