Kaye's Steak Marinade

This is a ridiculously easy and versatile recipe you can use in many types of dishes. This steak marinade works in traditional stir-fry dishes, and also in Mexican-themed cuisine. Later this week I'll post my mom's favorite way to make nachos.

I know, so convenient right after the Superbowl.

Sorry, my life just does not revolve around that kind of stuff. Disappointing to some, I know.

Kaye's Steak Marinade

Ingredients

1-1.5 lb flank steak

salt and pepper for seasoning

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup red wine vinegar

(The soy sauce to red wine vinegar ratio is always 1:1, so feel free to use less or more depending on the dish you are marinading the steak in)

Procedure

1. Cut the flank steak into small strips against the grain of the meat.

2. Salt and pepper the steak, then place in a dish with the vinegar and soy sauce to marinade for about 30 minutes.

3. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook the steak in the skillet, avoiding overcrowding the steak, as it will cause the steak to "steam" rather than sear.

4. Cook on each side about 2-3 minutes, or until there is very little pink in the middle (this is a matter of personal preference).

5. Transfer to a paper towel and keep warm.

6. Serve with stir fried veggies over rice, over nachos, in tacos, or just by itself with a couple of sides!
