The Importance of Tenderizing Steak
Why is Tenderizing Necessary?
Before we get into the tenderized steak recipe, let's first understand why tenderizing is necessary. The process of tenderizing involves breaking down the tough fibers in meat, making it easier to chew and resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. This is especially important for tougher cuts of meat, such as flank or skirt steak, which are commonly used in South African cuisine.
Ways to Tenderize Steak
There are several methods for tenderizing steak, including using a meat mallet, marinating, and using a commercial meat tenderizer. However, one of the most popular and effective methods in South Africa is using a biltong (cured and dried meat) mallet. This traditional tool not only helps to tenderize the meat but also adds a unique flavor to the steak.
The Perfect Tenderized Steak Recipe
Now that you understand the importance of tenderizing steak, let's dive into the tenderized steak recipe. For this recipe, you will need:
1-2 pounds of flank or skirt steak
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon of ground black pepper
1 teaspoon of sea salt
1 tablespoon of brown sugar
1 tablespoon of coriander seeds, crushed
Instructions:
In a small bowl, mix together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, sea salt, brown sugar, and crushed coriander seeds.
Place the flank or skirt steak in a large dish and pour the marinade over it. Make sure the steak is evenly coated and let it marinate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours, in the refrigerator.
Take the steak out of the marinade and let it come to room temperature before grilling.
Preheat your grill to high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness is reached (145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium, and 170°F for well-done).
Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serving Suggestions:
This tenderized steak recipe pairs perfectly with a traditional South African braai, but it can also be served with a variety of sides such as roasted vegetables, potato salad, or pap (maize porridge). For a truly authentic experience, serve the steak with a side of chakalaka (a spicy vegetable relish) and mieliepap (a thick cornmeal porridge).
In conclusion, with a little bit of time and effort, you can create a tender and flavorful steak that will have your taste buds dancing. So next time you're craving a delicious and unique meal, give this tenderized steak recipe a try and impress your friends and family with your South African culinary skills.
