We loved this... mustard and sugar might seem weird.. but it tasted good before i put it on the steaks and was even better once we grilled them

Okay, I'm using this marinade on a couple of ny strips. I forgot to pour the soy sauce on 'em in the beginning, so I had to pour it on the same time I rubbed on the other ingredients. The steak will be marinating at least 3 hrs so I'm praying they'll still be like butter.

Will be tryin' this recipe today. In fact, I'm gettin' ready to mix it up soon as I get finished typing this. I'm also gonna add some ginger like a reviewer mentioned. I remember reading that you should NEVER poke holes in a steak, well this will be the first time doin' that. I'll post my results.

Okay so I've got steaks in fridge marinating. I doubled up some of the ingredients to make sure I had enough b/c I'm using 2 large Delmonico steaks. For the double up part, I used 1 tsp salt and pepper, 2 tbsps brown sugar, 1/2 tsp. dried ginger, and I didn't use any additional soy sauce, just the 1/4 cup. Will round out the meal w/ baked potatoes and string beans. Hope it works out.

Thank you Charley!! My steaks are like butter baby!!! Will definitely be using this very easy and convenient marinade again. I could've added that tsp of salt after all-it wasn't too salty at all. Thanx again.

Had leftover steak and eggs the next morning and it was still delish. BTW, it was just as flavorful and tender before I warmed it up in microwave. I give this recipe a million stars. I'll be trying this marinade on every steak I get my hands on. I'll post my results fo' sho.

I used this for my hamburgers instead and added chopped onions. Perfect outcome. I'll be using this again for pork, steaks, and future hamburgers! Best around and simple to make.

Thanks Charley! I tried this for the first time tonight and it was absolutely delicious! I did not have any yellow mustard and used spicy brown and absolutely loved it. And it was so easy! It will be a regular in my house. Thanks again.

I was alway against putting anything on steak except salt, pepper, or garlic salt... Until now. My wife made this Marinade with some New York strips and I fell in love with it. I've tried it with Pork chops and chicken. Wonderful!

 Will (Michigan) says:
This was an easy marinade and tastes great. It reminds me a lot of honey mustard, but I wonder if it will taste that way on the steak.

 Bill (Maryland) says:
Usually never fool with my steaks, salt and pepper and that's it, but actually had Chinese take out packets of soy sauce and spicy mustard on the table from the night before. Used them and substituted smoky paprika chipotle seasoning instead of the salt and pepper. Was I surprised!!! Friday is steak night at my place with martini's, can't wait to do it again

 Lindsay (California) says:
AWESOME!! I usually like a fancy sauce or cheese sauce for a steak but wanted to make something quick and easy . . . this marinade definitely holds its own! I even poured the juices from the pan on the steak and that was just heaven for me! I'll definitely be making this again. Thanks, Charley!

I made this a few weeks ago and my husband and I love it! I didn't have garlic, so I used garlic powder. I was also not able to keep it in the frig for more than 25 mins but it still tasted great! I know have all the correct ingredients and plan on keeping it in the frig for the full 45 mins and hoping to get that much more flavor out of it!
