Every once in awhile we get a good deal on steak or as I am going through the freezer I run across a steak that begs to be eaten.  One of the best ways to get a great price on steak is buy a roast that has been marked down and slice it into steaks.  You can choose to make the steaks as thick or thin as you want.  Life with twins, work, and all the other activities have a way of keeping us busy so we have discovered the easiest steak marinade that tastes amazing.  No mixing, stirring, measuring or anything other than pouring to make your steak marinade.  It’s easy and delicious.  Several guests have asked for our recipe and they are surprised when we show them what we use because it really is that simple.

Easy Steak Marinade:

• 1/2 to 1 cup Italian Salad Dressing
• Steak

Unwrap the steaks, poke holes into the meat with a fork on both sides.  Take the bottle of  Italian Salad Dressing from the fridge and pour approximately 1/2 cup to 1 cup on the steaks.  The longer you allow it to marinade the more the flavor soaks in but you can even do it just for a few minutes on either side while you chop of veggies to go on the grill with it. Put the steak on the grill and cook it how you like it!

Sometimes I will pull the steak out and put the marinade on first thing the morning other days I am putting it on moments before it hits the grill.  Either way is delicious and super easy.    We often use Italian Salad Dressing mixed with Chicken or Fresh Vegetables as well.  Thankfully South Carolina is still warm this time of year so we are enjoying a few more weeks of grilling season!  Once Winter hits we add a little of the Italian Dressing to the crockpot chicken or beef  and it tastes great!  We usually pick up our Italian Salad Dressing at the Sav-Mor Sidewalk Box Sale for $0.05 to $0.15 per bottle or use coupons when we can get it for a great price.
