EATS: Asian Steak Marinade Recipe

For those of you who watched me go up against Bobby Flay on Chopped, you may know I rocked the basket ingredient of prime rib eye steak. My dish was bibimbap and I used a simple marinade to give the steak a lot of flavor.  The judges loved my marinated steak. It's no small feat to beat Bobby Flay on steaks so it's definitely a feather I count in my cap. A common question I get is how I made and used a marinade so quickly.  

The secret is simple and now I've made a video to bring you all in on it.  This is a great recipe for the middle of the week when you don't have a lot of time but you still want to make a delicious dinner and impress the friends and family.  Without further ado, I give you my version of a quick Asian Marinade. Video and recipe below.

I’ve also included a follow up video on techniques for cooking steak.  Here I am using steak that has been marinated.  Since it has an Asian culinary flavor, you might want to cut the steak into strips and add it into stir fry or put it into a beef and broccoli dish. Another idea, you can cook the steaks whole and serve with roasted Japanese sweet potatoes or rice.  Keep your meal plan simple and remember to add some greens for a well rounded meal.
