I was just wondering and hoping for new ideas, but what are your favorite steak marinades? I really like Allegro marinated strip steaks. Marinate over night and bring to room temp. prior to grilling.
Gary Beer is the best meat tenderizer I have ever used. No marinade just a simple pat of Garlic Butter when finished.
I don't marinade anymore, just S&P and butter, But back when I was in the Restaurant business every once in a while I would cut me a nice center cut rib eye and soak it overnight in beer with some cut up onion and it was great

I've never seen the Brisket Sauce in the stores here, just the marinade. My wife likes McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning blended with a 1/4 cup olive oil and a couple of tablespoons of soy sauce. The first time I made a steak for her with that marinade she said it was better than any she had and that's the only way she wants it marinaded now. I like to switch up and yes just salt and pepper is great too.On a quality cut of meat I prefer only salt and pepper. But, on lesser cuts, Allegro Brisket Sauce is fantastic. Gives a nice smokey flavor even on a gas grill. Whenever I serve one to someone who hasn't had it before, they always say, "Wow! What did you do to this steak?" That stuff is magic.
I've used a blend like that (Italian Dressing) on pork, but never on beef. Guess I'll have to give it a try.
The brisket sauce is very similar to the regular marinade except it's smokey and a little sweeter.I've never seen the Brisket Sauce in the stores here, just the marinade.

I've seen this brand at my local Ralph's grocery. I guess I'm going to have to give it a try.I'll assume you are asking about marinades sold at store/online.
Basque Norte.
This is my favorite. It is sold in some grocery stores(small bottles) in NorCal gracery stores and larger bottles at a Chico, Ca. Costco(maybe others, but so far I've only seen it there, and cheaper, too.)
It's has chunks of garlic but, not over powering. A reasonably thick steak takes 3-4 hours +/- marinade time. No additional salt or spices are needed.
I even marinaded salmon bellies and hot smoke them.

Link has the name of the company that bottles it for them. It is a link to their restaurant, too.

Recently did a small center cut tenderloin and some boneless short ribs, all they needed was a little EVOO and some salt and pepper. Will post full before and after next time. [GALLERY="media, 368786"][/GALLERY][/quote]
Now that looks like some "Good Eats". And I'm gonna try that marinade your kids like.
