Cheap Steak Marinade
- 3/4 cup salsa
- 1/4 cup tomato-based BBQ sauce
- 1/4 cup juice from a bottle of pickled peppers (jalapeños or Pete’s Peppers work)
- 2 tsp Sweet curry powder or mustard powder (I prefer the curry)
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
Mix it up, coat your steaks, let ‘em soak for a few hours.
Before grilling, wipe excess marinade from steaks (save this), and sprinkle on your favorite steak seasoning (or at least a little salt and pepper!) Grill to a nice medium rare, slice thinly, and serve with baked beans, baked potato, corn on the cob, or anything else that would go with a nice steak. This meat also makes good fajitas — especially if you save the marinade as described below.
For fajitas
Save the marinade, place in small sauce pan and bring to a bubble over medium heat (make sure this gets to 165 degrees or hotter!) This will make a great “sauce” to add to your fajita fillings.

I do all kinds of interesting stuff with them … and I’ll start posting some of my techniques here for you to try - they’ll always be named “Cheap Steak
