This recipe is simple. On a scale from 1-5, 5 being the highest. I would say it is a 2. I am currently looking for a consistent way to rate the easiest/hardness of my recipes.

This steak was about gone before I take a picture. I made it just in time and snapped a picture of the last one. You may recall me saying before that we may have been reincarnated from the cowboy days because steak is one of our fav  meats.

I have been working on the perfect marinade. I also have been throwing ingredients together for years and not writing anything down. Thanks to this blog I can remember exactly what I did. So hear it is, no need for steak sauce I only added some for the picture

You will need:

Marinade:

• 3 lbs of thin cut T-bone or ribeye steak(5 steaks)
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 2 tbs worcestershire  sauce
• 1 tbs soy sauce
• 1 tsp lemon juice concentrate
• 1 1/2 tsp steak seasoning

For potato salad:

• 6 large redskin potatoes
• 2 tbs salt (for water)
• 6 eggs
• 1/4 tsp mustard
• 1 tbsp. relish
• salt and pepper to taste
• paprika

This was just enough marinade, combine all ingredients, add steak, poke holes throughout steak. cover and place in the fridge about 2 hours. Lets make potato salad while we wait. Dice potatoes in medium size chunks. Place potatoes and 2 tbs salt in pot, bring to a boil. Place eggs in a pot and bring those to boil. Potatoes should feel firm but not at all hard. Pour into strainer and rinse with cold water for a couple minutes. Put these potatoes in a large bowl. When the eggs are done, peel immediately under cold water. Put four into the bowl with the potatoes and break them up with a fork. Put the other 2 in the bowl(do not break them up).  Place bowl in the frig. I would start my grill now. I only cook on charcoal. It can take 15-30 minutes to get to the temperature I like to cook on. The steaks only take maybe 10-15 minutes to cook and I like mine well done. To finish out your potatoes salad, just mix the rest of the ingredients, flatten the top. slice the 2 whole eggs. Use only the slices that come out with yoke and whites, like the picsprinkle with paprika in a side to side motion.  Serve with a salad and you are done.
