Simple Marinades For Steak To Give An International Flavor

By: Christine Szalay Kudra Home | Food-and-Drink


Garlic, soy sauce, chili sauce and Worcestershire sauce are just some of the possible steak marinade ingredients which give plenty of flavor to steak. Easy steak marinades are a fantastic way of both tenderizing your steak and adding plenty of taste to your meal.

How to Make Asian Style Steak Marinades

Asian inspired flavors are always popular and flavors such as chili, honey, citrus and other spicy flavors and herby tastes go nicely with red meat.

Soy sauce and vinegar can be combined with sugar and fruit juice for a sweet and tangy steak marinade recipe. Garlic or chili sauce enhances the Asian flavor and adds another dimension to the taste. You can use orange juice, lemon juice or pineapple juice to add sweetness. Fruit juice makes your steak tender and juicy and citrus juices can be used to break down the tough steak fibers and tenderize it perfectly.

Sesame oil, rice wine, soy sauce and cornstarch mixed together gives steak a curried flavored or Chinese twist to your marinade recipe with loads of delicious flavor to any kind of steak.

Pineapple juice, ginger, soy sauce, oil, and garlic are good to use if you want a sweet and zesty marinade recipe for your steak but you should always feel free to experiment with different flavors and perhaps you will come up with something unique and brand new.

Wasabi is a highly piquant Japanese seasoning, which are great if you like spicy dishes. Wasabi goes equally well with fish and meat so if you fancy a hot Japanese style steak for dinner, a wasabi steak marinade might be just what you are looking for.

If you marinate your steak with Asian flavors, you might like to serve noodles or rice instead of French fries or a baked potato. If you want to make a tasty sauce for your steak, there are plenty of marinades you can boil while the steak is grilling. Boiling the marinade recipe is crucial because the raw meat has been in it and you should not eat something that has touched raw meat.

Herby European Style Easy Steak Marinades

For a mild and aromatic touch, rather than something strong and full flavored, you can use herbs to add taste to your meat. Fragrant herbs like basil, marjoram, cilantro or parsley go nicely with lots of different steak marinade recipes to add a subtle flavor and complement the meaty taste.

You can make an Italian style marinade for steak with oregano, marjoram, and basil, combined with garlic, balsamic vinegar, and oil. A steak marinated in this mixture would be great served with pasta and a fresh green salad. A lot of people would say their favorite marinade for steak is an aromatic and lightly flavored concoction, similar to this one.

You might like to make a Spanish marinade for your meat by combining ingredients like olive oil, red pepper, tomato juice and paprika. Aromatic marinades like these are ideal for hot, sunny days when you fancy your red meat with a light and fresh flavor instead of a rich sauce.

Herbal, light marinades work just as well on steak as full flavored, rich one because steak is so versatile. Also, using a steak marinade recipe is very easy.
