tenderize steaks with a fork by stabbing the meat several times all over.
this is my secret!
lightly salt & pepper steaks before sitting them aside.
whisk together all your liquids.
in a baking dish, pour a thin layer of marinade, then put the steaks on top.
pour in the rest of the marinade & refrigerate for 2-3 hours
after marinading for the FULL 2 HOURS AT LEAST, remove steaks from fridge & sear in skillet/grill over charcoal to desired temperature.
IMPORTANT: if you would like to use the marinade as a sauce, be sure to put it in the skillet & heat at least until bubbling to kill the raw meat bacteria!
if you do so, this is when to sautee your mushrooms.
