Restaurants often have secret tricks to making their food taste fantastic. This marinade is definitely of 5-star quality! It uses olive oil, balsamic vinegar, some spicy horseradish, and the surprise ingredient truffle oil to give the steaks that chic restaurant flavor.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

I've done this twice now, quick and easy! I had to substitute finely chopped green onions for the shallots due to lack of availability (we're very rural), used dried basil from my summer garden instead of fresh, and never used the truffle oil because I have no clue where to find it, but this marinade makes a rather tough, inexpensive BBQ steak into a nice tasty, relatively tender steak - and I detest tough meat. Some day I may be lucky enough to have 100% of the ingredients on hand when I need them! But even with my clumsy substitutions, it is wonderful. I was lucky enough to find horseradish a couple of weeks ago - I had been out for over a year!

great marinade. No, make that fantastic! I am not sure what the defininig ingredient was that made it special - maybe the truffle oil or the horseradish but it's really great. Truffle oil is kinda expensive to use this marinade a lot but I would say it's worth the cost to make it a few times during the summer.
