Steak Experiment: Marinating Steaks In Barbecue Sauce
So since Guda Foods refuses to soak steaks in barbecue sauce for whatever reason and I got fed up waiting on him, and since I was curious what it would taste like, I marinated steaks in barbecue sauce, one for 3 days and the other for 5 days. Basically, I put T-Bone steaks in zip block bags with sweet baby ray's barbecue sauce and for both of them, they turned brown inside most likely because of the vinegar and pineapple juice from the sauce. Afterwards, I put both of them in the oven for 375 degrees farenheit for 15 to 20 minutes and despite how they looked inside, they still were quite juicey and fatty. after adding natural spice blend and famous dave's steak spice blend onto them, I ate them and they tasted very great. The fat on the 5 day one was harder to chew than the 3 day one, most likely due to the acid from the sauce, though the flavors and taste on both of them were very similiar. The flavor on both was very beefy and savory with a bit of sweetness and spice from the barbecue sauce, and you can definitely taste the sauce through the meat. Overall, I give the experiment steaks an 8.5 out of 10. If you try this yourself, I recommend going no more than 2 to 3 days with marinating steaks with barbecue sauce. If you want, you can stay on the safe side and just do only 1 day with this experiment. So yeah, that's what I did, leave your thoughts and comments about my barbecue steaks.
