Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 steaks (your choice)
- 1/2 cup Wish Bone Italian dressing
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Remove steaks from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to reach room temperature, which ensures even cooking.
- In a large shallow dish, combine Wish Bone Italian dressing, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly to create a marinade.
- Place steaks in the marinade, turning to coat both sides evenly. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
- Preheat grill or heavy skillet to medium-high heat (around 400-450°F).
- Remove steaks from marinade, letting excess drip off. Pat steaks dry with paper towels to ensure proper searing.
- Season steaks with salt and pepper on both sides just before cooking.
- For medium-rare, grill or pan-sear steaks for 4-5 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 135°F.
- Remove steaks from heat and let rest on a cutting board for 5-7 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Slice against the grain and serve hot, optionally garnishing with fresh herbs like basil or parsley.
Tips
- Always remove steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to ensure even temperature and optimal cooking results.
- Don't skip the marinating step - the Wish Bone Italian dressing not only adds incredible flavor but also helps tenderize the meat.
- Pat your steaks completely dry before cooking to achieve that perfect golden-brown sear with a beautiful crust.
- Use a meat thermometer to check doneness accurately - remember that the steak's temperature will continue rising slightly during the resting period.
- Let your steaks rest after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and tender eating experience.
- For best results, slice the steak against the grain to maximize tenderness and make each bite more enjoyable.
