MARINATED FILET OF BEEF

Steps:

• Trim the filet well. Combine soy sauce, garlic, ginger and sherry in a large bowl. Rub the filet thoroughly with the oil and place it in the bowl. Turn a number of times, and let it marinate for several hours, turning once or twice.
• Place the filet on a rack, and roast in a 350°F. oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the meat thermometer registers 120°F. (for rare). Baste with the marinade several times during the roasting. Remove from the oven, and let it rest for several minutes before serving on a hot platter. Pour pan juices over the filet.
• Garnish with broiled mushrooms and watercress and serve with wild rice and toasted almonds. Drink a Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

RESTAURANT STEAK MARINADE

Steps:

• Combine soy, onion and garlic in blender at high speed for 1 minute.
• Stir in gravy master and seasoning.
• Marinate your steak as usual but note that this is a strong marinade, so for a london broil, use only 1/2 cup and marinate for 6-8 hours.

MARINATED STEAK

Steps:

• 1. Put the soy sauce, onions and garlic in blender or food processor. Blend one minute on liquefy.
• 2. Add the seasoned salt and gravy master. Blend 30 seconds on liquefy.
• 3. Pour the marinade into a large Ziploc bag. Rub the steak with brown sugar and add the steak, seal the bag.
• 4. Leave the steak at room temperature, turning occasionally for 24 hours, or up to 3 days refrigerated and 12 hours at room temperature. Filet doesn't need as long as London broil. the more tender the steak the shorter amount of time it needs. It is safe at 75 degrees or below for 24 hours
• 5. Remove steak, shake off excess liquid. Grill steak to desired doneness. DO NOT save the marinade to reuse, and DO NOT serve as a sauce, since it had raw beef in it.
• 6. The steak will be almost black on the outside, it is not burned. The marinade is very dark in color.
• 7. Let the steak rest, 5 to 10 minutes, tented with foil, before slicing.

STEAK MARINADE

Steps:

• Combine the soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, coriander and cumin in a large bowl or resealable freezer bag. (You should have 3/4 cup marinade.) Add the steak and massage the marinade into the meat, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or preferably for at least 3 hours or up to 2 days. (The marinade will permeate the meat more powerfully over time, resulting in a more robust flavor.)
• Remove the meat from the refrigerator about 1 hour before cooking to bring to room temperature. Heat a large heavy skillet, grill or grill pan over high heat. If using a pan, add the neutral oil to the pan. (No oil is needed for the barbecue or griddle pan.) When the pan or grill is hot, use tongs to remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess to fall away before placing the steaks on the pan or grill. Depending on the thickness of your steak (and the doneness you prefer), cook a 1-inch-thick steak for about 3 minutes per side until medium-rare. For thinner steaks or alternative cuts, reduce the cooking time to about 2 minutes per side, and increase the cooking time as needed for thicker cuts.
• Remove the steak and let rest for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and thinly slice the meat against the grain. Serve warm, room temperature or even cold, depending on your preference.
