A Great and Simple Marinade for Meat

Easy easy easy! I love it when cooking is this easy. Here’s a really simple, DIY marinade for meat. I used it on beef steak, but it’s delicious with chicken or pork, too. Also, it’s verstaile enough for vegetables.

5 pounds beef steak (I slice mine into chunks for quicker cooking)
1 cup Balsamic Vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons dried basil

In a large bowl, pour all ingredients over the meat. Allow to stand at room temperature for an hour. Heat up the grill, and lay the meat on the grates. Sear the meat for about 15-20 minutes. Once seared, move the meat over to one side of the grill (pile them up if you have to, they won’t stay there long). Then, lay a sheet of aluminum foil across the grates. Place the seared meat on top of the aluminum foil, and throw a few sliced white onions on top. Allow to cook for 15 minute smore or so (depends on how you like your meat– I like mine medium rare to well done).

Serve with fresh green salad, sliced cantaloupe, and potato salad. DELICIOUS!
