What’s not to love about a Jimbu Marinated Grilled Steak? This recipe has it all – it’s tangy, savory, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. And it’s not just the exquisite flavors that make this dish a hit. It’s also a feast for the senses, with the sizzling steak filling your kitchen with the tantalizing aroma of a summer barbecue. A quick glimpse at the glistening meat on the grill, punctuated by the colorful citrus, and you’re instantly transported to sun-drenched afternoons in your backyard.
A Taste of Tradition, a Nod to Innovation
Jimbu Marinated Grilled Steak, with its layers of citrus and herb-infused deliciousness, is a delightful departure from my Montana tradition of bison burgers and huckleberry pies. Jimbu, the star of the show, is a Himalayan herb that is both fragrant and flavorful, creating a harmonious balance with the tartness of the trio of citrus juices. Interestingly enough, this recipe resonates with my Montana roots since it echoes the Native American cooking philosophy of relying on locally grown, seasonal ingredients.
Health Benefits Wrapped in Flavorful Marination
As a self-confessed gourmet guru, I was ecstatic when I first stumbled upon this recipe. The health-conscious among us will be pleased to know that Jimbu Marinated Grilled Steak is as good for the body as it is for the palate. Beef steak, beyond being a protein powerhouse, is also an excellent source of iron and B-vitamins. Jimbu, besides making this dish unique, aids digestion. The antioxidant-rich citrus elements in the marinade further pack this recipe with vitamins. And let’s not disregard the olive oil – it comes with heart-healthy fats.
If you’re searching for flavors that complement the Jimbu Marinated Grilled Steak, I recommend a crisp, green salad dressed with a citrus vinaigrette. Or try it alongside some roasted vegetables, the nutty flavors playing off the citrus zest of the steak.
So, why do I love this recipe? I love it because it’s a tribute to tradition, while being unafraid to explore the new. It’s a process of discovery – of new flavors, new cuisines, and new combinations. Rest assured, this Jimbu Marinated Grilled Steak recipe is an adventure that’s worth embarking on. Give it a try, and I promise, you’ll love it too.
What You’ll Need
- 2 lbs beef steak
- 1 tablespoon jimbu (Himalayan herb)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger, grated
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon salt
Method
Step One
Prepare the jimbu marinade by combining the jimbu, olive oil, orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, freshly ground black pepper, brown sugar, soy sauce, chopped fresh cilantro, and salt in a large bowl.
Step Two
Place the beef steak in the bowl and ensure it is thoroughly coated with the marinade. If necessary, turn the steak several times to get an even coating.
Step Three
Cover the bowl with cling film and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the steak to properly absorb the flavors of the marinade. For best results, marinate the steak overnight.
Step Four
Preheat the grill to a medium-high heat. Once the grill is hot enough, remove the steak from the marinade, shake off any excess and place it on the grill.
Step Five
Grill the steak for 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your preferred level of doneness.
Step Six
Once the steak is done grilling, let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat. Afterwards, slice against the grain and serve.
