Equipment

  • Gallon sized Zip-Lock Bags Ideal for marinating meats, like steak, chicken and pork.
  • Mixing Bowls These stainless steel mixing bowls are an essential cooking tool for every kitchen.
  • Mini Whisk Fantastic for small batch recipes, this mini whisk is ideal for dressings, sauces and marinades.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lbs. steak skirt, flank, filet, sirloin, strip, rib-eye, or t-bone

Balsamic Steak Marinade:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 Tablespoons rosemary, fresh minced (about 2 medium sprigs)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced (about 2 tsp.)
  • 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoons pepper

Instructions
 

  • Mix the marinade by combining the oil, vinegar, water, rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper. Add the steaks to a resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over the steaks. Seal the bag and move the steaks around slighly to ensure the marinade has coated the steaks on all sides. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
  • Preheat outdoor gas or charcoal grill. Reduce heat to medium-low, and the marinated steaks, and mushroom skewers. Discard any remaining marinade. Flip the steaks and mushrooms after approximately 6 minutes per side.
  • Let steaks rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
