Chuck Wagon Pepper Steak
Description
This Chuck Wagon Pepper Steak delivers bold, rustic flavors reminiscent of old-fashioned campfire cooking. The key is a robust marinade of wine vinegar, olive oil, and fresh lemon juice, infused with thyme, marjoram, and plenty of cracked black pepper. This acidic brine helps tenderize the chuck roast, ensuring a juicy result. The dish is perfect for family dinners or potlucks where comfort food is king. It pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the savory juices. A satisfying meal that brings warmth and nostalgia to your table without requiring complex techniques.Ingredients
Directions
-
Trim excess fat from the chuck roast, cutting it into 2-inch thick steaks if necessary to achieve the desired size.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the wine vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, minced onion, thyme, marjoram, and crushed bay leaf to create the marinade.
-
Place the beef steaks in a shallow baking dish and sprinkle both sides generously with the meat tenderizer.
-
Pierce the meat thoroughly on both sides with a fork to help the tenderizer and marinade penetrate the fibers.
-
Pour the prepared marinade evenly over and around the meat, ensuring all surfaces are coated.
-
Let the meat stand at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours, turning the steaks every 30 minutes to ensure even marinating.
-
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before removing the meat from the marinade.
-
Remove the steaks from the liquid and pat them dry, then press coarsely crushed peppercorns firmly into both sides of the meat.
-
Grill the steaks for approximately 15 minutes per side, or until cooked to your preferred level of doneness.
-
Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain and serving with the remaining marinade juices if desired.
