STEAK MARINADE

My son-in-law, John Weaver, and my grandson, TJ came up with this recipe.   Yield: Covers 2-4 steaks

Combine in Ziploc bag:
        1/3 cup soy sauce

        1/3 cup Italian salad dressing (something with vinegar 
         in it.  I use Caspers Dressing from Caspers Food Co. 
         in Providence UT, 435-752-0085.)

        1/4-1/2 tsp. garlic powder

Place meat in single layer in plastic bag with sauce. Close seal on bag making sure to remove as much air as possible.

Place bag flat in refrigerator to marinate for 1/2 – 1 hour.

Note from GrammaNita:
If you think your steak might be on the tough side, you can beat steak on both sides with large end of meat mallet, then small end. After that, pierce it generously with a fork, then turn it over an pierce some more. Place in marinade as instructed above.
