PRIZE WINNING MARINADE FOR BEEF

Steps:

• Using a food processor, crush peppercorns until fine.
• Add garlic to processor and crush.
• Add soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice and blend.
• Pour mixture into giant zip lock freezer bag and add the meat to be marinated (even the cheapest cuts of beef will taste like prime rib!).
• Seal bag.
• Refrigerate for 48 hours (turn bag every time you open the fridge door).
• Reserve the marinade for later use.
• Barbecue the meat as you would normally however, I prefer to cook the meat very VERY slowly using an indirect cooking method--only ONE side of the barbecue is lit and turned down to low.
• The meat is placed on the one side of the barbecue which is off, over a pan of water, which sits on the barbecue rocks.
• Note: Total barbecue time depends on the size of beef roast.
• Relax while your dinner cooks.
• Put marinade on the stove and bring to a boil.
• Add just enough marinade to some sour cream, to make a sauce to drizzle over the cooked meat.
• Sit back and enjoy the compliments.

BEEF STEAK MARINADE

Steps:

• Mix together mustard, garlic and onion powder. Then mix in remaining ingredients.
• Place beef in a ziplock bag with Marinade and marinade overnight (12 - 24 hours).
• Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature - key for even cooking of steaks. Shake off excess marinade.
• Brush BBQ Grills with oil, then heat on high heat until is really hot - you should see wisps of smoke. Or heat a heavy based skillet on high until very hot, then add oil - it will heat almost instantly.
• Add steaks. For 2cm / 3/4" thick steaks, cook the first side for 2 minutes, then turn and cook the other side for 2 minutes (medium rare 52°C/125°F, chart below for other doneness temps). (Note 3)
• Remove from skillet onto a WARM plate, cover loosely with foil and set aside for 5 minutes.
• Serve! I couldn't resist garlic butter - see recipe in notes.

• Cut capsicum and onion into 3.25cm / 1.3" wide squares.
• Thread beef (reserve Marinade), vegetables and mushrooms on each skewer. I use 2 pieces of vegetables between each piece of beef. Thread loosely - don't smush together tightly (helps even cooking).
• Brush kebabs lightly with Reserved Marinade (including vegetables), then drizzle with olive oil.
• Heat BBQ or large skillet over high heat. Add 1 tbsp oil, then when smoking, cook kebabs in batches for 2 minutes on each side until slightly charred (4 sides = 8 minutes in total), basting with Reserved Marinade as you go.

BEST BEEF KABOB MARINADE

Steps:

• Place the cubed meat into a large plastic zip-tight bag and pour all but the reserved marinade over it, then seal and squish to coat well. Place in the refrigerator for 1-6 hours to marinate. This is also a good time to place wooden skewers in water to soak.
• Meanwhile, boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until just tender enough to pierce with a fork, about 6-8 minutes. Drain well, then toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, rosemary, and mustard. Set aside.
• Preheat grill to high heat while preparing the kabobs. Chop all vegetables into chunks that are roughly the same size as the cubed steak, keeping 3 layers of onion together in each chunk. Drizzle vegetables with the reserved marinade.
• Thread alternating pieces of meat, vegetables, and potatoes until the skewers are filled, aiming for 4-5 pieces of steak on each skewer.
• Place kabobs on the grill directly over the heat and reduce heat to medium-high. Grill for 8-10 minutes, flipping every 2-3 minutes, until the meat is cooked medium-rare to medium and the vegetables start to char just around the edges.
• Remove from the grill and rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Grill steaks, covered, over medium heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°), basting with reserved marinade.
