the way to a man's heart...


Zach and I enjoy Throwdown with Bobby Flay on the Food Network. Bobby battled a Marine Captain early on in throwdown: steak. Bobby got beat, and good. The recipe is amazing, it's good on fish and shrimp, as well as on the steak. Here is the recipe:


Disco’s Hot and Tangy New York Strip Steaks
from
Captain Eric “Disco” Dominijanni
MCB Camp Lejeune

Marinade
1 can (12 ounces) cola
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup garlic teriyaki sauce
1 habanero chile pepper, finely chopped with seeds
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1 tablespoon freshly ground ginger
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

4 New York strip steaks, about 8 ounces each and 3/4 inch thick
Extra virgin olive oil

1. In a medium bowl mix the marinade ingredients. Place the steaks in a large, resealable plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Press out the air, seal the bag, and turn several times to coat the meat. Place the bag in a bowl and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours, turning the bag occasionally.

2. Let the steaks stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before grilling. Remove the steaks from the bag and reserve the marinade. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan, bring to a boil, and boil for about 10 seconds. Set aside about half of the marinade for basting the steaks. For the remaining marinade in the saucepan, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until it has reduced to the consistency of a dipping sauce, 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside.

3. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Lightly coat the steaks with oil.

4. With the lid closed, grill the steaks over direct high heat (500°F to 550°F) until cooked to desired doneness, 5 to 7 minutes for medium-rare, turning once and basting with a little of the boiled marinade. (If flare-ups occur, move the steaks temporarily over indirect high heat.) Remove from the grill and let rest for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve warm with the dipping sauce on the side.

Makes 4 servings

I seriously encourage you to try this. It's amazing. My mouth is watering thinking about this yummyness. I had to share because it's a hard recipe to find from time to time. Write it down. Save it. You will use it and it will be a hit. You can trust me. My husband won't make steak any other way.

Thank you Captain D.
