Hello! I cooked this last night and it went down a storm. A simple marinade for grilled steak with potato wedges and peas. Yum! The main ingredients:
Steaks (this marinade will do 4 nice steaks easy)
1/4 cup of dark soy sauce
3 tablespoons of honey
2 tablespoons of vinegar
1/2 teaspoon of ginger powder
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
1/2 cup of olive oil
3 large potatoes
Some more olive oil and cracked black pepper
How to:
1. Basically, put all the ingredients into a bowl and mix well! The more you stir, the more the honey becomes less sticky and part of the mixture. The honey I used was Fairtrade Chilean honey- seemed to work quite well, best to use a runny honey, as-it-were. When I had mixed it up, mine looked like this:
2. Now, get a shallow dish and place in the steaks. I slit mine a few times with a sharp knife. Now pour over the marinade, cover, and leave in the fridge for as long as you want - from 2 - 12 hours. I left mine for about 4.
3. About an hour before you'readyto eat, cook the potato wedges by peeling three large potatoes and cut them in HALF only. Boil them up until they are nearly done, but still hard enough so that you can still slice them again without them turning into mush.
4. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and get a small oven dish. Cover the base in oilive oil and a generous amount of black pepper. I used green peppercorns here as that's what I had to hand.
5. Cut the poatoes in half again to make wedge shapes and place in the oven dish, covering them liberally with the oil.
6. Cook for about 45 minutes. Whilst the potato wedges are cooking in the oven, get out the steaks and grill to your preference! We like steaks well done, so I put mine on a low heat for a while:
7. And once the poatos and steaks are done, you're ready to serve - with a nice bottle of red of course. I also quickly boiled up a saucepan of peas to go with it. It was delicious! So delicious in fact that I forgot to take a picture of it until I'd nearly eaten it all. Bon appetite!
