This pickle-brined steak recipe takes your steak to the next level with a tangy and savory flavor that will leave your taste buds wanting more. The brining process tenderizes the meat while infusing it with the flavors of pickles and spices.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs of steak (such as ribeye or New York strip)
  • 1 cup of pickle juice
  • 1/4 cup of brown sugar
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp of black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp of paprika
  • 1/2 tsp of onion powder

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the pickle juice, brown sugar, garlic, black pepper, paprika, and onion powder.
  2. Place the steak in a resealable plastic bag and pour the pickle brine mixture over it. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Discard the marinade.
  5. Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
  6. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain and serving.
  7. Enjoy your juicy and flavorful pickle-brined steak!
