Dear friends, steak, as the "highlight" of Western food, has always been loved by everyone for its unique taste and rich nutrition. But you know what?To achieve the desired taste of a steak, marinating is a step that should not be overlooked. Today, let me reveal the easiest way to marinate steak, so that you can easily enjoy restaurant-level deliciousness at home!
Marinating not only adds flavor to the steak, but also makes the meat more tender. By marinating, we can penetrate the flavors of various spices and seasonings into the fibers of the beef, so that every bite of the steak is full of rich layers. At the same time, some of the ingredients in the marinating process can help soften the meat, making the steak easier to chew and digest.
Prepare the materialsA: First of all, we need to prepare a good steak (it is recommended to choose a ribeye or sirloin part, about 2-3 cm thick), as well as the necessary seasonings for marinating - olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic. In addition, you can also add some vanilla (such as rosemary, thyme, etc.) according to your personal taste.
Handle the steak: Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it warm up at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Then use a kitchen paper towel to gently absorb moisture from the surface.
The curing process: Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly on both sides of the steak and drizzle with an appropriate amount of olive oil. Next, spread the crushed garlic and herbs evenly over the surface of the steak. To make the steak more flavorful, we can wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator to marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Fry the steak: Remove the marinated steak from the refrigerator and warm for 10 minutes. Preheat a pan or frying pan over medium heat and add a little olive oil. When the oil is at a moderate temperature, place the steak in the pan and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side (depending on the thickness of the steak and personal taste) until the surface is a beautiful caramel color.
Rest and enjoy: Remove the fried steak and place it on a plate, relax for 5 minutes, and then slice and serve. At this time, the steak is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, rich in juice, and has an excellent taste!
The marinating time should not be too long, otherwise it may cause the steak to be too salty or affect the meat quality.
Be sure to control the heat when frying to avoid scorching the steak on the outside and on the inside.
Fried steaks must be "rested" for a while before slicing so that the gravy can better lock in the meat.
