Applebee's Bourbon Street Steak

Marinade:

2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
4 tsp chili powder
4 tsp minced garlic
1 1/2 tsp meat tenderizer (McCormick is best)
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp ground cayenne pepper
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp ground oregano
2 cups water


2 (10 oz) top sirloin steaks


Garlic Butter:

3 tbsp salted butter
1/8 tsp garlic powder
Pinch salt

On The Side :

1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp salted butter
2 cups thinly sliced white onion (about 1/2 onion)
2 cups sliced white mushrooms
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground black pepper


1. Combine all marinade ingredients in a medium bowl.
2. Pound steaks with a kitchen mallet until about 3/4 inch
thick.

3. Submerse steaks in marinade, cover and store overnight
in the refrigerator.

4. When your steaks have marinated for 12 to 24 hours,
preheat a barbecue grill to medium/high heat. Blot steaks
with paper towels to remove excess marinade. Grill the
steaks for 3 to 5 minutes per side or until cooked as
desired.

5. Melt 3 tbsp butter and combine it with 1/8 tsp garlic
powder and a pinch of salt.

6. Combine 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium
skillet over medium/low heat. When the butter is melted,
add 2 cups of sliced onion and saute for 2 to 3 minutes or
until onion begins to soften. Add sliced mushrooms, 1/8
tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper to pan and sauté for
another 2 to 3 minute or until onions and mushrooms begin
to lightly brown.

7. When the steaks are done, spoon a couple tsp of garlic
butter over the top of each steak and serve with mushrooms
and onions on the side.

Makes 2 servings.
