The main reason for using a steak marinade is to tenderize an otherwise less tender and probably cheaper cut of steak. The acid in the steak marinade tenderizes by breaking down the connective tissue of the steak. The steak marinade also adds flavor. The following steak marinade recipe is a very good one that not only willtenderize your steak but add flavor.
