Amazing Steak Marinade

Spring has finally sprung here in Utah, and I am beyond thrilled! Of course I know it will snow again, it always does. 🙁
But I’m trying not to think about that, because the weather this week has been glorious. Today it might actually get up to 70°, which is heaven after five and a half  long months of winter. Man I love spring! My poor husband is having to park in the driveway because his side of the garage is filled with all my spray paint projects. LOL!

Another thing I love about spring (besides being able to spray paint again), is that we can bust out the BBQ grill. Wes does the grilling, so it’s nice to have a break from cooking. And everything just tastes better when you can eat it outside while lounging on a deck. Am I right or am I right?

I am actually a grilled chicken girl, and I only enjoy steak if it is amazingly tender and delicious. Which doesn’t happen very often. And let me tell you that this was the best steak I’ve had in ages! Definitely the best steak that’s ever come off our grill. It rivals the $30 a plate steak that I’ve had at restaurants. I’m sure the cut of meat had something to do with it, but the marinade was also to die for. I found it on Allrecipes and gave it a try because it had so many great reviews. I am soooo glad I did! We had a pretty quiet dinner, because all of us were busy stuffing our faces. Don’t be put off by the large quantity of basil. I thought it was strange too, but trust me, it is not overpowering. This steak is seriously divine!!
