When Beercuer came to lunch

Well, in spirit anyway.

Awhile back he posted some steaks that had been marinated in balsamic vinegar and olive oil, and they looked so good that I had to give it a try.

I had a single ribeye hiding in the freezer for a time when I would be eating by myself, and last Saturday's lunch turned out to be that time.


I salted the steak lightly before applying the balsamic vinegar, which came out of the bottle a little faster than I expected, and olive oil. It marinated for 4 hours and I added a little more salt and some pepper after wiping off the marinade.


Lump charcoal + cast iron = grill marks.


The oil and vinegar added a nice complementary flavor to the beef, and what's a steak without mushrooms?


I'd definitely use this marinade with a steak again, especially since the ingredients are pretty common and usually on hand. Thanks, Beercuer!

Say Brad, how about that?-- I'm the first one to lunch. Excellent and exquisite looking steaks there, Brother! I am really delighted you enjoyed with the marinade. Luv them grill marks and how you sliced the steaks up and mixed with the shrooms. I must say, I like the looks of your steak better than mine.

That sounds excellent! I'm gonna have to give that one a try soon.

Yum!! I've done something similar before with pork chops. Works very well with those too.

Thanks, guys! I really wasn't too sure what to expect but I figured if BC recommended it things would be OK!
