Best steak marinade:

When I claim “award winning recipe” …it truly is! Once you give it a try you’ll see why it’s so good. You have to see this old newspaper clipping of my cute mom when she was a sophomore in High School. She took this recipe to the County Beef Cook-Off and won! I’m so proud! I can’t not giggle a bit when I see this cute picture of her…oh the hair!

This one reads: “She’s in her third year of Home Economics.” So awesome! Why oh why didn’t I take Home Ec when I was in High School?! Three years of Home Ec?! My future self wants to travel back in time and make that happen…it could only have helped what I’m doing now, right?!

What you’ll need to make Poor Boy Steak:

Costco Tri-Tip Steaks or Tri-Tip Roast
creamy French dressing
ketchup
soy sauce
garlic powder
Worcestershire sauce

How to make Poor Boy Steak:

Prepare marinade: In a medium sized bowl combine the french dressing, ketchup, soy sauce, garlic powder and soy sauce. Mix together until well combined.
Marinate: Place meat in a shallow pan. Pour marinade over meat. Marinate overnight or at least 3 hours. Turn meat over during the marinating time.
Prepare meat: Before grilling remove meat from the marinate brushing off excess sauce.
Cook your steak: Depending on the thickness (or depending on how you like your meat cooked), here’s a good rule of thumb for cooking steaks: Place the steaks on the grill and cook until golden brown and slightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the steaks over and continue to grill 3 to 5 minutes for medium-rare (an internal temperature of 135 degrees F), 5 to 7 minutes for medium (140 degrees F) or 8 to 10 minutes for medium-well (150 degrees F).
Brush with sauce: As you cook and turn the steak over, continue to brush the steaks with the sauce every 10 minutes.

How to store Poor Boy Steak:

Store your grilled steak in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days. This steak is just as good the next day!

Ways to use leftover steak:

Grilling Poor Boy Steak:

As you grill it, you brush it with more of the flavorful marinade. This will make your steak that much more delicious. Take a look at those lovely grill marks.

How to cut Poor Boy Steak:

When slicing any steak, you want to cut against the grain. Cut perpendicular to the muscle fiber lines on the meat with a sharp knife for perfectly tender strips.
