Smokey Garlic Marinated Steaks
If you don't have the luxury of an outdoor grill, but love the taste of slow-smoked food, give liquid smoke a try!
Equipment
- 1 smoker or grill
Ingredients
- 4-6 steaks - ribeye steaks or T-bone steaks
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar or apple cider vinegar

- 1/2 tsp liquid smoke
- 1/4 tsp ginger powder
Instructions
- Pat dry the steaks with a paper towel.
- Pierce each piece of meat several times with a fork and put it aside.
- Whisk together the remaining marinade ingredients.
- Cover the fork-pierced steak with the marinade, filling the holes.
- Place in an airtight container and cover with the remaining marinade.
- Refrigerate in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours.
