#FreshTastyValentines ~ Red Wine Garlic Strip Steaks

Welcome to #FreshTastyValentines day 7! Join us for a full week of wonderful recipes to inspire your fresh and tasty Valentine's Day meals. We are sponsored by some pretty amazing companies this year and will get to highlight some amazing products and ingredients thanks to their generosity. Please visit the Kick-Off post here to see the FANTASTIC giveaway information. Tomorrow is the very last day of this fantastic event - so make sure to check back over the past week's posts and definitely pop in tomorrow for the grande finale. I am sad this one is coming to a close already! It's been a great week of incredible dishes. 

This marinade makes for a deliciously rich and satisfying steak dinner which is often a very great dish to serve on Valentine's day for the beef loving man in your life (or woman!) We used thin strip loin steaks which only needed about 3 minutes on each side to cook; it's always nice to be able to do a lot of the work ahead of time with a quick cook time, then you can sit and enjoy your meal with a lovely glass of Woodbridge Pinot to accompany. A great way to end the day!

Ingredients
3 - 4 lbs loin strip steaks

Marinade
1 cup Woodbridge Pinot Noir
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 TBS lemon juice
2 TBS Worcestershire sauce
1 TBS Chablis mustard
2 TBS honey
1 TBS minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

1. Combine marinade ingredients in a large resealable container. Whisk to combine. Add in steaks, coating steaks on both sides. Seal container and allow steaks to marinate for at least 6 hours, up to overnight depending on how strong you want the flavor (we did one set of steaks after about 6 hours which were good, and another set the following night and I really liked the depth of flavor on the ones that were left in the marinade for a longer period of time).
2. Preheat grill to medium high heat. Cook steaks to desired doneness.
