For a delicious and flavorful marinade that comes together in a flash, look no further. The marinade combines the soft, peppery heat of Texas Spicy with the sweet tanginess of Apricot BBQ Sauce that penetrates the meat and creates a delicious caramelization during grilling. Not only does it hit the taste buds just right, it’s the best 5-minute steak marinade for when you’ve got better things to do than meal prep. Succulent steak grilled to order over wood-fire always hits the spot.
TRAEGER'ED NY STRIP STEAK
DIFFICULTY: 1/5
PREP TIME: 5 minutes
INACTIVE TIME: 3 hours
COOK TIME: 10-15 minutes
RECOMMENDED PELLETS: Mesquite, Cherry
SERVES: 2
INGREDIENTS
14 oz. New York Strip Steak
Traeger Beef Shake
½ cup Traeger Texas Spicy BBQ Sauce
½ cup Traeger Apricot BBQ Sauce
METHOD
- Pour the Texas Spicy and Apricot BBQ Sauce into a shallow casserole dish, stirring to combine. Place the strip steak in the mixture, making sure the steak is coated evenly on both sides. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 3 hours, or overnight. Remove the steak from the marinade and season with Beef Shake 45 minutes before grilling to bring it to room temperature and allow it to absorb the seasoning.
- When ready to cook, start your Traeger on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4-5 minutes). Set the temperature to High (450°F) and preheat, lid closed (10-15 minutes).
- Place steak toward the front of the grill grate for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium rare (place in the middle of the grill grate for a few more minutes if you prefer your steak medium or well). Remove from the grill and let rest for 3-5 minutes. Slice against the grain, serve and enjoy!
