Made this for ZWTIII. This was really amazing. I'm a bit sceptical that dried herbs in marinades can be good, however the flavour was outstanding. I used dried thyme & marjoram, and marinated for about 7-8 hours. The smell as the steaks hit the cast iron pan was beautiful, garlic, ginger & herbs. The marinade caramalised slightly, giving a nice tang to the steaks. To boot, this was so simple - took under 5 minutes to prepare with no mess & no waste. Thanks floWer, will definitely be making this more often, especially in summer when we are back to BBQing.

OUTSTANDING!!! Let me start by saying I hate reading reviews were the person has changed the recipie so much it's no longer really the recipie. With that said I did make one change, I used balsalmic vinegar instead of red wine because I didn't have any red wine. Incredible, I can barely eat steak without A1 but this marinade is incredible. I cooked my sirloin in the cast iron skilet and after it was done I cooked the marinde and used it like a sauce. I have my one and only steak recipie now. Try it you can not go worong. I used basil as my dried herb

Very nice taste. Used it on steak that I had cut up for stirfry. Instead of tarragon, I used thyme. Was just lovely!

Marinated my sirloins for 8 hrs., then grilled. Excellent flavor, and so tender! Thanks for sharing

This was great! Very easy and I had all the ingredients in my kitchen. I used oregano in place of the tarragon and added a little bit of garlic salt because I love my garlic. I will be making this again and again!

This was perfect for the first year anniversary dinner my husband and I shared. This marinade is very easy and quick to make. I doubled the marinade for 1.77 lbs of NY strip steak. The steaks were marinated overnight and turned over once. 30 minutes before dinner, I brought out the steaks to warm up to room temperature while a cast iron pan was heating up in the oven (oven set to broil) for 15 minutes. Then I seared each side of the steaks for about 2 minutes. After searing, I turned the oven setting to 500 degrees. The steaks cooked within 3 minutes (we prefer our steaks medium to well done). Let the steaks set for 5 minutes before slicing.

WOW! Normally I'm not a huge steak fan but I've decided that's because I never really had a GOOD marinade. This one was great. Only had about an hour to marinade, but this one added a great flavor. Used it on a NY Strip, so I wasn't looking for something to tenderize, just add some flavor. Will use again!

I have now made this recipe twice. The first time I left out the tarragon (we just don't care for the flavor), used lower sodium soy sauce, but followed the rest of the recipe. I marinated the rib eyes for about 4 hours and then grilled them. We just loved the flavor and was asked for the recipe. The second time I used marjoram, lower sodium soy sauce, red wine vinegar with garlic and 5 cloves of garlic. I marinated the rib eyes for 24 hours flipping the meat once. We grilled the steaks again. Oh the flavor was even better than the first time. This time I have to email the recipe for our company was traveling and did not want to lose it. This is a quick and easy recipe and will be add to our rotation for grilling meats. Next time I try it on a pork tenderlion. Made for the Aussie/NZ Aug 2008 Recipe Swap.

Absolutely delicious. I ate a whole steak and I normally not a steak person. I put the marinade into a ziplock bag with the steaks; threw them in the freezer. Today, I took them out and broil them and boy the meat is tender, flavorful, and so good. Thank you for sharing a great recipe.
