In our family, meat is always a favourite, but we try to keep it for special occasions like religious holidays, when we have company, and, of course, Israels Independence Day.
Sometimes the steak is simply grilled with salt and black pepper. But when we want to elevate it just a bit, a good marinade adds depth and brings all the flavours together. This works beautifully with cuts like rib eye, chuck steak, shoulder, or London broil, so you can use whatever you have on hand.
Yields 4-6 servings.
Ingredients:
2 kg. steak (rib eye, chuck, shoulder, or London broil), about 4-5 cm. thick
1 Tbsp. olive oil
3 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
3 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
3 or 4 garlic cloves, crushed (or 3 frozen cubes)
1 tsp. kosher salt
¼ tsp. ground black pepper
Directions:
Whisk together all the marinade ingredients until well combined. Place the steak in a large zip-top bag or container and pour the marinade over, making sure the meat is well coated. Let marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for deeper flavour.
If marinating for about an hour, you can leave it at room temperature. If marinating overnight, store in the fridge and let it come to room temperature before grilling.
Preheat your grill, grill pan, or oven to a high heat (about 200°C / 400°F). Remove the steak from the marinade and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for several minutes before slicing.

This apricot chicken recipe was everywhere in Australia back in the 1970s — I wouldn’t be surprised if it appeared on the dinner table at least once a week in many homes. It’s one of those recipes that became so popular because it’s simple, reliable, and very family friendly. The recipe is much the same, but just a little different. I came across this version in a small church cookbook a few years ago, and it has a couple of extra ingredients that really lift the flavour. It’s still quick and easy to make, but the sauce is a little richer, a little creamier, and altogether more delicious.
