Soy sauce, sugar, onion and garlic in a roasting bag for both marinade and roast! Cookpad Auntie Eiko posted this, it is brilliant to marinade and roast in the same bag. Most tender pork steak ever!I tried it a few times and tweaked her recipe by adding a lemon and a mild red onion for the marinade to make a sweet and sour gravy to my liking. Thank you Eiko.The roasting bag is expensive and does not survive the oven for reuse, so I tried a ceramic roasting dish with heavy glass lid for both marinade and roast. Success! Hobby Horseman -

California Farm Grilled T-Bone Steak California Farm Grilled T-Bone Steak
We like our beef steaks thick, cut one inch thick. Here is how we grill steaks over charcoal on the barbecue and serve it tender.It is called reverse grilling: you finish the internal meat to the level of doneness first on a low temperature, away from the hot coals, test if it is rare, medium-rare, medium, medium well or well done, and then sear the meat over high heat over the coals, one minute per side.You can use an internal digital thermometer, or Emma-Jane’s cookpad finger method. I tried both methods side by side on steaks and I feel confident her method is as accurate as digital thermometers, better than time based methods. Hobby Horseman
