The Best Steak Ever!

Yes, you are right, I was at home the whole day! Hahaha... But guess what, I accomplished something! Yipee! Mom had me try a recipe. It's from "Cooking Light" magazine. It's Sizzling Steak! We had a couple of ribeye steaks in the fridge so I tried it out on one. And it was surprisingly delicious! I had to substitute Cranberry juice over red wine. Of course we don't drink red wine. 

So I wanna share with you my recipe. This is for my future reference as well. Hahaha...

Marinade:
  • 1/3 c. Cranberry Juice (or if you prefer, dry red wine)
  • 1/4 c. beef broth (what I did was boiled water and added Knorr Beef Cubes)
  • 2 tbsp. Balsamic vinegar (pref. Italian, Modena)
  • 1 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 (4-ounce) beef tenderloin steaks (1 inch thick) (I used one of our almost one-inch thick New Zealand ribeye steaks)
Marinate it for 2 hours in the fridge. I marinated my steak in a zip-top bag. Turn it occasionally. When about to cook, rub with coarsely ground black pepper and salt. Fry each side on butter until degree of desired wellness is achieved. Then voila! You'll have a juicy and flavorful steak! The best I had so far. It's better than Chili's. hahahaha.. My family loved it! So try it out. It's so delicious and so juicy. Yummy! Hahahaha... 

Yeah, I do love cooking and baking. Mom said I could be a chef someday. I don't want to. Food is my weakness. If I indulge, heaven knows how obese I could get!

So yeah, that's one accomplishment for today. Mom loved it. It was just a test really for lunch today. So she had me buy two more ribeye steaks at Lulu Hypermarket for QAR 31.84. Just don't convert it to pesos. Hahaha.. Then I marinated it again and cooked steak for dinner. The whole family loved it!

O di ba? Pwede na ba? Hahaha...
