Have you marinated your steak in Italian dressing?

Question

There was a little "recipe" on my steaks I bought, said something about marinading in Italian dressing. I left my steak seasoning at my old apt :( and wondering if Italian dressing is any good.

Answer 1

I marinate all of my meats in italian dressing - it tastes GREAT!

Another thing you want to do before marinating is to let your meat soak in a bowl of water for about 10 minutes.  It makes the meat nice and juicy.

Remember, to cook on a low flame - it cooks every thing to perfection!

Good luck!!

Answer 2

I don't like it;  most Italian dressing doesn't have enough seasoning in it, and it's "gluey" textured.  I marinated some chicken once, and it was the blandest chicken I'd ever made.  I was embarrassed to serve it! ... Plus, salad dressing has oil in it, which can burn if you put it on a BBQ.   Try Lawry's marinades;  I think they're the best......

Answer 3

no but that does sound good.

Answer 4

I have to say I have not done that nor would i want to.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Yes! It will come out awesome.

Answer 7

Yes if you like italian dressing... Add some red wine and onions to kick it up a little.

Cook over charcoal... Charcoal is made from wood...

Answer 8

I have used it before and it isn't bad.  Not my favorite but good.  Just make sure you don't marinate it too long (4+ hours) I notice that the steak actually starts to cook a bit from all the acidity in the dressing.  

I have always been a fan of keeping it simple with steaks.  Salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Answer 9

I use it all the time it is very good

1/4 cup A.1. Original Steak Sauce

1/4 cup  KRAFT Italian Dressing

MIX steak sauce and dressing. Pour over your favorite beef steak in shallow glass dish or resealable bag. Cover dish or seal bag.

REFRIGERATE at least 1 hour to marinate. Drain steak; discard marinade.

GRILL or broil steak until cooked through, turning over halfway through the cooking time.
