Notes
HAUS TIP: marinate your steak overnight and turn it several times in its marinade bath before it hits the grill! You can also freeze the steak in its marinade in the Ziploc bag for up to a month. When I do this I double Ziploc it for freshness! Then simply thaw on the counter before grilling, I take it out mid-morning and it should be good to go by dinner. This freezer method creates what I think is an even more tender piece of steak!! I like to do this in the summer, then I have a stash of marinated meat on hand for any last minute get togethers!
