Choosing the Perfect Cut of Steak
When it comes to creating the perfect steak, choosing the right cut of meat is crucial. Not only does it affect the flavor and texture of the steak, but it can also impact the cost. For this affordable recipe, sirloin or flank steak are great options. These cuts are lean and flavorful, making them a cost-effective choice for your holiday gathering. Be sure to trim any excess fat before cooking to ensure a tender and juicy steak.
Marinating for Maximum Flavor
To enhance the flavor of your steak, it's important to marinate it before cooking. This not only adds depth to the taste, but it also helps to tenderize the meat. For this recipe, a simple garlic and herb marinade is all you need. Combine minced garlic, chopped herbs like rosemary and thyme, and a splash of olive oil in a bowl. Place your steak in a ziplock bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least an hour or up to overnight.
Cooking to Perfection
When it's time to cook the steak, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper to taste. Place the steak on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 135°F. Once cooked, let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Pairing with Sides
To complete your affordable holiday steak meal, pair your perfectly cooked steak with some simple and budget-friendly sides. A fresh salad with a homemade dressing and roasted vegetables are great options. You can also serve your steak with a side of garlic mashed potatoes or crispy roasted potatoes for a heartier meal. And don't forget to save some of that delicious marinade to drizzle over the steak for an extra burst of flavor.
