20 best steak marinade recipes!
Count me in!
So when you are planning a steak dinner, what is your favorite way to prep your steaks? Do you just season them with pepper and salt? Maybe a spice rub?
Or do you have a kickass signature marinade up your sleeve?
If so, I would love to know your recipe!
Should you marinate steak?
Well that is totally up to you.
You don’t have to. Like I said before, just a simple sprinkle with pepper and salt is fantastic too.
However by marinating your steaks you can add flavor to your weekly steak dinner!
Does marinade tenderize steak?
Yes, it can.
Especially when there is a slightly acidic ingredient in the marinade such as vinegar, wine, buttermilk and citrus fruits such as lemon or lime.
Just don’t let the steak soak in the marinade for too long.
A couple of hours is all the steak needs.
And keep the steak in the fridge of course, not at room temperature.

Are you in for this explosive steak marinade recipes with tamarind?
How about doing a little fusion cooking tonight? Beef, steak and tamarind are a perfect flavor marriage, bang on!
This is my personal and most favorite steak marinade recipes that I am very proud of!
What would our world look like without steak?
More importantly: what would I look like without steak? Utterly miserable, the heck! In case you hadn’t noticed it just yet, I am very fond of steak.
Steak Dinners
I have always loved the classic steaks sauce, such as a béarnaise steak sauce.
Or a creamy pepper steak sauce.
This time however I wanted to create a very different kind of steak marinade. One my hubs wouldn’t expect at all. So how about a little fusion cooking tonight?
After preparing my tamarind beef chili I still had some tamarind juice left in my fridge.
Easy Fusion Tamarind Steak Marinade Recipes
That chili was delicious, beef and tamarind just seemed the perfect marriage.
So I tried another beef and tamarind dish using the second badge of tamarind. And that is how I came up with this steak marinade recipe.
Bang on again!
How to you like your steak cooked?
I like my steak rare, raw in the middle but warm to the touch. Take the steak out of the fridge half an hour before you plan to cook it. That is the perfect time for the meat to nearly reach room temperature on the inside without spoiling.
Substitute
If tamarind juice is hard to get where you live, then try to replace it by a combination of 2 tablespoons of molasses, a tablespoon of lemon juice and vinegar and 2 teaspoons of worcester sauce.
Well I will leave you to it.
Enjoy!
Easy Fusion Tamarind Steak Marinade Recipes
- 2 steaks
- 5 tbsp tamarind juice
- 1 garlic clove chopped
- 1 tbsp red chili chopped
- 2 tsp lime juice
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- sunflower oil
- 2 tbsp shallot chopped
- a handful fresh cilantro chopped
- pepper
- salt
1) Combine the tamarind juice, chopped garlic and chili, brown sugar, lime juice and 1 tbsp of sunflower oil. Season with pepper and salt to taste.
2) Place the steaks in a ceramic oven dish and pour this marinade on top of them. Turn the steaks a few times to coat them evenly.
3) Cover the dish with clingfilm and refrigerate for at least an hour. Turn the steaks regularly.
4) Scrape off any excess marinade (keep it aside) and sear the steaks in very hot sunflower oil over high heat. Turn the heat down to low and cook them until done the way you prefer. Season with pepper and salt.
5) Slice the steaks thinly and transfer them onto warm plates. Add the remaining tamarind marinade to the hot pan and simmer for 2 minutes. Drizzle the tamarind sauce on top of the sliced steak. Garnish with the freshly chopped shallots and coriander. Serve immediately.
