Jamie Deen Marinated Molasses Steak

This weekend I caught Jamie Deen's new Food Network Show - "Home for Dinner with Jamie Deen" where he showed some of his favorite recipes for Father's Day. One of them was a Marinated Molasses Flank Steak, well lo and behold I go to the grocery store on Sunday and there are two bottom round steaks, totaling 1/2#, perfect amount for me for dinner and lunch the next day! Now I know you are probably thinking "Molasses....isn't that a bit much?" Well with all the other ingredients in the marinade it really turns into a nice tangy sauce that delivers a lot of flavor, but doesn't taste like a molasses cookie, I promise.

On top of that I made a great corn and zucchini side dish to go with the steaks - you will have to check back in a few days for that recipe.



Jamie Deen Marinated Molasses Steak: Serves 2

1/2# Flank or Bottom Round Steak
3TB Molasses
3TB Dijon Mustard
3TB White or Red Wine Vinegar
1TB Soy Sauce
1TB Olive Oil
2TB Chopped Fresh Rosemary (2tsp dried)
2-3 Garlic Cloves - Minced

Take a fork and stab the steak all over on both sides, mix the marinade ingredients together and cover the steak with it (I used a shallow bowl, you could use a ziplock bag). Place in the refrigerator and marinate for at least an hour and up to four to six. 30 minutes before you are ready to cook remove the steak from the fridge and set on the counter to come up to room temperature.

Heat a grill or a cast iron skillet over high heat and once hot add the steak for 3-5 minutes per side (I like my steak rare to medium rare and 3 minutes on each side was perfect for me). Once the steak is finished cooking remove to a plate and let it sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing into it or you chance all the juices running right out of the steak.

Serve and Enjoy!
