Steak Tips
Steak Marinade
To change the flavor of a steak or to tenderize a tougher piece of steak, marinate the steak overnight in a marinade.

Steak Tips
Preheat the Grill or Broiler

Preheat the grill or broiler to high heat before placing meat in direct heat. Once steaks are under the broiler or over the grill, turn only once at the mid point of cooking for best results.
