Overnight Marinated Steaks

This is an easy way to prepare steak that is full of flavor.

Plan ahead since it is preferable to marinate the steaks overnight. This gives the vinegar more time to tenderize the meat. The next day, all you need to do is cook up the steaks & dinner can be ready in 15-20 minutes.

• Adjust oven cooking time based on the thickness of the steak.
• Serve with Roasted Potatoes and a simple salad.
• Squeeze fresh lime juice on the steaks to add a citrus zing.
