Teriyaki Steak with Onion Rings

I needed a quick dinner for tonight as I worked back late and this quick marinade for steak was the simple answer. The steak only needs to marinade for a little as 15 minutes for the flavour to be absorbed into the meat but you can marinate for longer. I used rump steak but any cut of steak would work well with this recipe.

Not only is this a simple marinade but it is very flavoursome and I am sure will go down a treat with everyone as it does in our house.

Teriyaki Steak with Onion Rings

(recipe adapted from The Backyard Barbecue Cookbook)

Serves: 4

Points per serve: 5

1/4 cup dry sherry

1/4 cup soy sauce

1 teaspoon crushed garlic

1 teaspoon grated ginger

freshly ground black pepper

4 x 200g rump steaks, all visible fat trimmed

cooking spray

2 teaspoons oil

2 large brown onions, sliced into rings

In a large bowl combine sherry, soy sauce, garlic and ginger. Season with freshly ground black pepper and mix well. Add steaks ensuring they are completely covered by the marinade. Allow to stand for at least 15 minutes.

Preheat a barbeque flat plate or large frying pan and heat oil. Cook onion over medium heat until golden, sprinkle with 1 - 2 tablespoons of the marinade and continue to cook until caramelised, approximately 5 minutes. Remove and keep warm.

Clean and respray the flat plate or frying pan and cook beef on high heat for 5 minutes on one side and 3 minutes on the other side or to desired liking. Serve meat with onion rings.
