Recipe: Herbed Minute Steaks

Fresh herbs.

“Marinating in a wine and herb sauce before grilling does wonders for minute steaks and the topping of sour cream and paprika dresses up what otherwise might be considered a plain cut of meat.”—The Garlic Lovers’ Cookbook (1980)

HERBED MINUTE STEAKS

Makes 6 servings

1 C salad oil

½ C red wine

¾ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp onion powder

½ tsp celery salt

½ tsp salt

½ tsp oregano

½ tsp basil

¼ tsp black pepper

¼ tsp Accent (optional)

Dash ground nutmeg

6 minute steaks or cube steaks

½ C sour cream

Paprika

Combine salad oil, red wine, garlic powder, onion powder, celery salt, salt, oregano, basil, pepper, Accent, and nutmeg in glass or enameled flat pan big enough to hold steaks in a single layer, add steaks, turn to coat well, and marinate 1 hour, turning several times. Remove steaks from marinade, and pan-fry in hot skillet or broil until just browned on each side. Top each steak with a tablespoon of sour cream and sprinkle with paprika to taste.
