Dale's is nothing but liquid salt. Should never be in anyone's kitchen. All you need for a great steak is salt and pepper and some time. The key is to let your steak get to room temperature before you stick it on the grill. Just rub the salt and pepper on it and grill. You don't ever see any quality restaurants marinating Ribeyes.

I don't usually marinade steaks, but I have used my dad's grilling marinade on some cheap steaks before and they've turned out well. It's a mix of Italian dressing, worchestahire sauce, black pepper, and powdered BBQ seasoning. The Italian dressing works really well as a tasty base and soaks into the meat more effectively than some others I've used. Then the W sauce, pepper and BBQ seasoning add a lot of flavor to the meat. The best part about this marinade though is that it really moistens the meat, even after it's been grilled. Pork chops become juicy and flavorful, and chicken comes out perfect every time

Is that the stuff with the cheap looking label? Like fiesta seasoning? Worth a crap?



yes it is and it is good option if traveling or grilling at a place where the spice situation is unknown. Have also used it as a dry rub on a brisket in a pinch and it turned out well.

Oh F&D purists. We all know salt and pepper is good for steaks.
Change of pace for a little asian flavor on some kebobs or something.

Cut steak in small chunks and throw in a ziplock with sesame oil, soy sauce, fresh ginger, garlic, red pepper, and brown sugar. Skewer them up.

If anybody complains that you should've just done S&P tell em to get off your lawn.

I'm not big on marinating steaks. If the OP wants to do so, I suggest drying the steak well after marinating. Wet steaks don't sear/char well, unless as someone suggested, the marinade is oil based and causes flame ups. Once there's a good sear, I've had them basted a bit in some butter for further sear/char on the grill and they were just fine.

If the OP wants a different flavor to go with the meat, making a sauce of some sort would do well. I like a brown butter parsley sauce, bearnaise or a blue cheese butter sauce from time to time. It doesn't take but a touch of the stuff on a bite to compliment the meat. There are plenty of things you can add to softened butter to make a little "sauce" to melt over the hot meat.

We were in Sam's today and a guy walked by with two full rib eyes in cryovac. I priced them a few minutes later 135.00 - 145.00 each. beside them in the basket he had a half gallon of Dale's sauce. Made my stomach hurt.



That's a sin.
The cashier ought to refuse to sell him those steaks if he plans on putting Dale's on them. I'm half-serious about this...
