Beef Steak Marinade

2 steaks (, economical (Note 1))

1 tsp Dijon mustard

½ tsp minced garlic ((1 large garlic clove))

½ tsp onion powder ((or sub with garlic powder))

1 tbsp soy sauce ((Note 2))

1 tbsp oil ((I use olive oil, but any oil is fine))

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Black pepper

Mix together mustard, garlic and onion powder. Then mix in remaining ingredients.
Place beef in a ziplock bag with Marinade and marinade overnight (12 - 24 hours).
Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature - key for even cooking of steaks. Shake off excess marinade.
Brush BBQ Grills with oil, then heat on high heat until is really hot - you should see wisps of smoke. Or heat a heavy based skillet on high until very hot, then add oil - it will heat almost instantly.
Add steaks. For 2cm / ¾" thick steaks, cook the first side for 2 minutes, then turn and cook the other side for 2 minutes (medium rare 52°C/125°F, chart below for other doneness temps). (Note 3)
Remove from skillet onto a WARM plate, cover loosely with foil and set aside for 5 minutes.
Serve! I couldn't resist garlic butter - see recipe in notes.
