Ingredients
- Water
- Cold water
Directions
- Whisk together the ingredients for (one) marinade in a small bowl until combined.
- Combine marinade with steak in a ziplock freezer bag, and toss until the steak is evenly coated in the marinade.
- Carefully press out any extra air that might be in the bag, then seal. (You will need 1/3 cup marinade per 1 pound of steak.)
- Refrigerate the steak pack(s) for anywhere from 30 minutes to up to 1 day.
- Immediately transfer the steak pack(s) to the freezer, and freeze for up to 3 months.
- Then when you’re ready to cook the steak, transfer the steak pack back to the refrigerator for 24 hours, or until it has thawed completely.
- Or to speed up the process, you can submerge the sealed steak pack in a bowl of cold water in the refrigerator until it has thawed completely.
- When ready to cook, remove the steak from the marinade, discard the remaining marinade, and let the steak rest on a plate for 20 minutes at room temperature. (This will help it cook more evenly.)
- Cook however you prefer. (See recommendations below.)
