Story behind the recipe – This is that marinate every man needs to make so his man moment at the BBQ is special. We usually start by picking out a steak and paying for it cause we don’t wish to be chased by the police. After all, this is to be put on the beef not on the lam. One of our friends likes this recipe because if he’s on a date it gives him a chance to woo, if his buds are over the chance to share braggadocio fish stories, if his family is over a chance to go to the throne room and read Sports Illustrated cover to cover. Personally, we’re old, we just nap.

What you’ll need

 - 2 8 oz. steaks

 - 1/4 cup Balsamic vinegar

 - 1/4 cup Italian dressing

 - Fresh grind black pepper

 - 1 teaspoon of sea salt or Kosher salt

 - 1 teaspoon of crushed fresh garlic

 - 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes

Steps to the process

- Big bowl with tight lid preferably set on the counter flatly. Add one quarter cup Balsamic vinegar.

- Smell it! That stuff makes me smile.

- Add one quarter cup Italian dressing. For clarity, salad dressing not an Italian putting on clothes.

- Sprinkle and or fresh grind black pepper to taste. Gesundheit...if you sneeze.

- Add one teaspoon of sea salt or Kosher salt. I like both, so if you add both, half a teaspoon each.

- Add one teaspoon of crushed fresh garlic. If a vampire have someone else add it for you.

- Add one teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Stir.

- Using whatever tool you feel comfortable with, place the steak(s) into the marinate.

- Cover. Make yourself a drink and wait. For best results wait two to four hours.

- Start grill. Make certain you are sober enough to operate in a flammable environment.

- Flop the marinated meat onto the grill. Burn to taste. Flip. Burn to taste. Remove. Eat. Enjoy.
