My Mom's Steak Marinaide

The other night, we grilled up some PlumRich T-Bones and Sirloins that I had marinated overnight in a delicious homemade marinade.  It's almost impossible to find a store-bought marinade that doesn't include sugar, msg, high-fructose corn syrup, or "hydrolyzed" and "modified" everything, therefore a little extra effort put forth in a homemade mixture is well worth the effort.  Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Mom's Steak Marinade

1/3 c. hot water
3 T. finely chopped onion
2 T. cider or red wine vinegar
2 T. olive oil
2 T. soy sauce (I use gluten-free Tamari instead)
1 t. beef bouillion granules (This contains huge amounts of MSG, so I used about 1/4 beef stock instead)
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 t. paprika (better yet, smoked paprika)
1/2 t. coursely ground pepper
2 beef steaks, about 12 oz. each

In a bowl, combine the first nine ingreditents.  Remove 1/2 cup marinade and refrigerate.  Pierce steaks several times on both sides with a fork; place in an 11 x 7 in. glass dish.  Pour remaining marinade over steaks, turn to coat.  Cover and refrigerate overnight.  Remove steaks, discarding marinade.  Grill.
Warm reserved marinade and serve with steaks.
