As I type this post, I’m thinking about all the times I’ve made this marinade, and all the times I took photos of the steaks and kabobs, but never got it posted. It’s really kind of funny. I make the marinade, grill the steaks, take pictures, don’t like the pictures, delete the pictures. This happened several times and then finally … I made beautiful, delicious steak kabobs and was thrilled with the photos. Would you believe I deleted the pictures from my camera and computer, both? Before I posted it? Sheesh. It almost seems like this recipe doesn’t want to be shared. I sit anxiously waiting for my computer to crash or something. Fingers crossed! Anyway, we made it again because I know you’re going to love it.
The less hungry folks might give up, but not me. I want to share this awesome, delicious, wonderful recipe!
The pictures aren’t perfect, but I guarantee you the steak is was. This recipe is great on chicken, steaks, kabobs and I am seriously thinking about trying it on grilled salmon. I’ve served it to almost all our dinner guests over the past two + years.
Don’t forget to try this marinade next time you need positively perfect results. You’re going to love it!
Steak or Chicken Marinade
(adapted from a recipe by themomdept posted on Tasty Kitchen)
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup brown sugar
6 cloves garlic, peeled and halved
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 heaping teaspoons Montreal Steak Spice
1 teaspoon dried mustard
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 cup Teriyaki sauce (I use low sodium – Kikkoman)
4 steaks (I have used filets, New York Strip, Sirloin, and made kabobs)
Combine all ingredients in a large zip lock bag. Add the steaks, chicken or kabobs and marinate overnight. I have also divided the marinade into two bags, put two steaks in each bag and froze 1 bag (2 steaks) for another night. Yum!

I have had some failures in the kitchen lately and some pretty yummy successes. Please check back later for another terrific corn recipe – yes I still have corn – ha ha! You won’t want to miss this one 🙂 I hope you have an awesome week and thanks so much for stopping by!

Man, I just talked myself out of buying these at the grocery store. They were having a sale!

Saliva producing pics as always me lady! Love that awesome dish too…
Angie Schneider says
Good that you have fixed the problem and we finally got a chance looking at those fingerlickingly delicious kabobs!

Those are fantastic pictures. I wish my good ones would be as good as your bad ones. At least what I imagine them to be. I'm sure it would be a major improvement! And I love the sound of that marinade!

Sorry to disagree with you, Tricia, but the photo above the recipe is absolutely perfect! I am printing out this recipe quickly (assuming it doesn't make my printer explode or crash or die) before some other mysterious force makes it disappear. :)BUT please tell me what is in Montreal Steak Spice or who makes it so that I can give this a try!

I'm glad you didn't give up and we now have these pictures and this recipe. You've made me a little ashamed at my threshold of what's "good" enough to post on my blog. I'm not real patient with the camera. These kabobs look insanely moist and succulent. I'm sold!
Chris Scheuer says
Tricia, this sounds SO good! So sorry about your photos, I totally get it! Sometimes we start taking pictures and I say "STOP, it's not worth going any farther, this stuff looks awful." And it's never the photographer, just the food stylist and chef :)<br />

There was some sort of jinx on our getting to hear this one, but I'm glad you persevered!! Sounds fantastic and I'm really having a great time grilling lately (new grill. Yea!). Thank you, Tricia! Hope you have a wonderful week, too. blessings ~ tanna<br />ps I imagine I'd love even the things you are labeling "failures"!
Anna and Liz Recipes says
Hye Tricia! Its happened to me so many times- if you look at my photos on my last post, very similar happened to me as well. <br />But these kabobs look delicious! I think I will be making them again soon! <br />Have a great day!

The kebabs look very good Susan. Thanks for hanging tough and sharing the recipe with us.
