Marinade for Beef Steak.

[Elawin]

The marinade sounds good. I like my steak medium to well done, i.e. just slightly pinky in the middle and definitely not oozing, with a stilton coating. If you order that in a restaurant and they don't cook the steak to your liking, they have to start again with a fresh steak - they can't zap the steak in the microwave or under a grill because it ruins the sauce.

My wife surprised me a couple of weeks ago with a real left field ingredient for beef marinade - kiwi fruit. Combined with red wine, onion, garlic and bay leaves and some undetermined cut of beef (we were on holiday) and left overnight. She kebab'd it and cooked it on a disposable bbq and it was as tender as fillet steak. The kiwi tip had been given to her by a Kiwi vet some years ago, and remained forgotten until recently.

I think kiwi fruit tenderises - rather like pineapple juice.
