I whipped these up the other night using ideas from other recipes I have seen and used before. I honestly have to say these were the best steaks I have ever eaten. The cola makes the steaks nice and tender. Ingredients:
4 rib eye steaks (or whatever steak you prefer) |
kosher salt (to taste) |
fresh ground black pepper (to taste) |
marinade |
1 (12 ounce) can cherry cola |
12 ounces dale's steak seasoning (liquid marinade) |
1 tablespoon garlic powder |
1 teaspoon black pepper |
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or crushed red pepper) |
Directions:
1. In large glass baking dish, mix all of the marinade ingredients.
2. Place steaks in the marinade and let them sit for 3-4 hours, turning occasionally. If the steaks sit too long, the cola will break the steaks down too much.
3. Prepare the grill (I prefer charcoal, but you can use wood or gas).
4. While the coals are getting hot, take the steaks out of the marinade. Season both sides of the steak generously with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper. Steaks need to be close to room temperature when placing on the grill to ensure even cooking, so let sit out for about half an hour before grilling.
5. Before placing steaks on the grill, pat both sides of the steak dry with a paper towel. This wipes off the excess marinade and helps the steak to brown properly.
6. Grill steaks to desired doneness, only flipping once during cooking. Use tongs to flip the steaks, as a fork will puncture the steak and release very important juices.
7. Once steaks are done, remove from grill and cover loosely with foil for 5 minutes before eating. This helps the juices redistribute througout the steak.
8. Serve and enjoy!
