Ingredients

  • 4 large beef t-bone steaks
  • 23 cup soy sauce
  • 23 cup olive oil
  • 13 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 -6 tablespoons orange juice
  • 13 cup red wine vinegar
  • 13 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon california garlic powder
  • 12 tablespoon onion powder
  • 12-1 tablespoon ground mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Greek oregano
  • 1 teaspoon sweet basil
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 2 -6 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fine white pepper
  • aluminum foil, pouch (1 thick pouch)
  • hickory chips

Method

  • Combine all liquid ingredients, except water, in shallow, sealable container.
  • Add Brown Sugar and whisk heavily until mostly dissolved.
  • Lightly whisk in remaining dry ingredients.
  • Lay steaks in marinade, if large steaks wont be covered now is the time to add NO MORE than 1/3 cup water to increase volume of marinade and dont forget to whisk, all liquids tend to seperate.
  • Seal up your container and Vigorously Shake!
  • Place in Refrigerator and let marinade do the work for as long as you like.
  • To shorten the marinade time if you are out of time add a bit more acidic liquid ingredients such as lemon, lime, more Orange Juice or any other you like.
  • 99% of the juices actual flavor is lost while in the refrigerator.
  • I prefer gas for grilling, so preheat to about 450-500 degrees and toss the foil pack of hickory on the grill first.
  • Poke a few holes in it and wait until it starts to smoke fairly thick before opening your grill to add steaks.
  • Cook to your liking and enjoy!
  • I prefer Med-Well with a thick blackiness all over the outside so I dont scrape any of the marinade off before grilling.
