Cooking for Zo

Here is one of the Marinades I like to use for my steaks. This is enough Marinade for 1 lb of steak. Adjust as needed. It is also pretty darn good as a steak sauce/topping.

Ingredients:
3 tbsp unsalted sweet European butter
1/2 tsp Italian Volcanic lemon juice (1 tsp lemon juice for tougher cuts of meat)
1/2 tsp parsley
1/8 tsp ground red pepper
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp fresh cilantro (diced, optional)

Melt butter in a small bowl. Once melted mix in the remaining ingredients. Season steak with pepper and salt, then marinate for 30 minutes-overnight (depending on the cut of meat) in a shallow covered container.

Tender cuts 30 minutes to an hour: Mignon, New York Strips, ect.

Tougher cuts 10-24 hours: Round, flank, ect.
