When my mom was a young mother in the 50\u2019s, she spent a lot of time cooking and making up recipes. One of her meals was a potato salad that was a little different from the common one of the time, and a steak marinade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, her steak. Her steak made at least 2 vegetarians want to eat meat again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All summer long, she\u2019d make this steak and this potato salad, and even though she died a few years ago, I get to feel like we are home again when I make them.
I recently was asked if I\u2019d be willing to share my mom\u2019s steak marinade, and since I was making it for today anyway, I figured why not. And like that woman who had her fudge recipe on her tombstone for all to enjoy, I know my mom would love to live on in other people\u2019s cooking. Even if they change it to fit their tastes, like she changed recipes to fit her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The steak is simple. There were no amounts in my mom\u2019s recipes- she eyed everything and tossed stuff together, except in the rare occasions where there was a single measurement (4 eggs, \u00bd cup A1, \u00bd c breadcrumbs, LOTS of garlic powder). SO I measured my \u2018eyeing\u2019 when I put this together the other day (it needs to marinade 24-48 hours).  So you mix this, pour it over steak, forget it, and cook it.
Cook extra. There is nothing better than this steak pan fried to reheat on bread with mayo as a sandwich the next day, and I try to save about 1\/3 of a cup of diced streak to throw on a pizza at a later date. It has SO MUCH FLAVOR.
I am not much of a meat eater. But I could eat this all day every day and be very happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You did good, mom. <3 you and miss you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(My mom would mix and match these as she had them. do not feel obligated to use all of these if you don\u2019t want. That goes for the whole thing. If you don\u2019t have an herb, skip it, substitute it, go wild!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
