Herb and Garlic Marinade for Chuck Steak
Chuck steak is a rectangular cut, which is normally an inch thick. There is plenty of connective tissue in chuck steak, including collagen, meaning that you will need to marinate it for several hours to tenderize it.
An herb and garlic marinade works beautifully with this cut of meat, the garlic herb marinade in the following recipe combines thyme, mustard, parsley and more to impart plenty of delicious flavor, and the vinegar helps to tenderize the steak. This marinade works well if you leave the steak marinating overnight, turning it once or twice, and it is one of our most easy steak marinades because you simply combine the steak marinade ingredients together.
