Another great collaboration with Lone Tree, the Vancouver cider company . This time, I used cider to create a tasty marinade in order to enhance the flavour of these crazy grilled strip loin steaks !

Preparation
- In a large bowl, pour the ingredients for the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Mix.
- Place the beef in a large airtight dish and pour 3/4 of the marinade over it. Close the dish, mix well and reserve in the fridge for 3 hours. Reserve the rest of the marinade in the fridge.
- Preheat the BBQ at maximum intensity. Oil the grids.
- Drain the steaks and place on the hot grills. Cook for 2 minutes and turn 45 degrees. Continue cooking for 2 minutes. Flip the meat over and drizzle with the rest of the fresh marinade. Continue cooking to the desired temperature. (CAUTION, depending on the thickness of your steaks and the degree of doneness you want, your steaks may already be ready.There is no magic here! Check with a meat thermometer, you bloody fool.)
- Remove the meat at 120 F for rare cooking, place on a plate and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chives and serve!
HINT: Buy a piece of meat that is very thick. Go to your butcher shop! This way, it will be easier to obtain a beautiful marking and especially not to exceed the desired cooking. Remember, a meat thermometer costs about $ 5 at the grocery store and will be your best friend to cook perfect steaks!
Pour most of the marinade over the steak and let it sit in the fridge for about 3 hours, keeping the rest of the fresh marinade aside. Basting the meat with that reserved marinade while it grills adds another layer of flavor right up until it comes off the heat.
This marinade combines olive oil, apple cider, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, and dried herbs with a splash of Worcestershire sauce. Together they season the meat deeply over the 3 hour soak while helping build a nice crust once the steak hits the hot grill.
