Thai Grilled Steak
This is a typical marinated steak with a Thai inspired marinade. Normally served sliced and on a salad, but feel free to side the steak with rice, potato, etc. This not how to tell you how to grill your steak, I just give a guideline on what works well for me. I normally go with Australian Rib Eyes that are about 1 inch thick.
Ingredients
- 2 beef steaks, any cut, do not trim any fat
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
- 1/4 cup onion, finely diced
- 1-2 Bird's Eye Chilis, minced, remove seeds if you wish
- 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh lime juice
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar, heaping
Instructions
- Place the steaks in a zip lock bag. Mix together the remaining ingredients in a small bowl, mix well to ensure the sugar is dissolved. Pour the mix into the bag, squish out the air and mix the marinade to coat the steaks. Seal the bag and place in the fridge to marinate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours. Turn the bag over occasionally to make sure the steaks are well coated on both sides. Remove from the fridge about 30 minutes before you intend to grill them to let them get to room temperature.
- Get your grill ready, either gas or charcoal, totally up to you. Remove the steaks from the bag and retain the marinade. Place the steaks on the grill over direct heat and spoon over some of the marinade. Grill for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes and turn the steaks over, spoon on some more marinade and grill to your desired doneness. Slice and server on a salad or paired with rice or potato or any sides of your choosing.
Notes
I cannot price this until I buy steaks again up in the city, this is a high cost meal though but is good for a once in a while treat.
Variants, use this marinade for chicken, pork, or even shelled shrimp.
