Marinade for Steaks

Grilled steaks and risotto - that's a perfect combination in our house.

We usually grill filet mignon, but Jon picked up some NY Strip Steaks instead. The steaks seemed a little tough, so he created a marinade for them.

The steaks marinated in this mixture for about 6 hours.

• 2 oz olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tsp white pepper
• 1/2 tsp coriander
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1.5 oz scotch (he used Johnny Walker Red)
  

One hour before grilling, he added 3 dashes Worcestershire.

This marinade was delicious, and sweeter than we both expected (in a good way!). Also, the steaks became much more tender than they would have been if we didn't marinate them.

I served the steaks with barley risotto and sauteed spinach.
