Marinades are a great way to introduce flavour to foods without covering them in thick sauces. Red meat is a great source of iron too.
Ingredients
- 900g / 2lb of sirloin steak
- 1 medium red onion, peeled
- 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
- Ground black pepper, to taste
Method
- Grate the red onion and place in a dish large enough to hold the meat lying flat
- Next stir in the crushed garlic and olive oil. Add the balsamic vinegar and season with black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly
- Now place the beef flat in the dish and make sure that the meat is completely coated with the onion and balsamic mixture
- Cover with clingfilm and marinate for at least 1 hour in the fridge but preferably overnight
- Remove the meat from the fridge 15 minutes before you are ready to grill it
- Then place the beef over a hot barbeque and cook for 4 to 5 minutes each side if you want your steak cooked ‘rare’, cook for a minute or two longer for ‘medium’ and leave the steak for 6 to 8 minutes each side if you like your beef ‘well done’
- When the beef is cooked, leave to sit for about 5 minutes and then slice into 1½ inch strips and serve immediately
