  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh thyme OR 2 tsp. dried thyme leaves
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 2 lb. top round boneless steak, 1" thick

Preparation:

In large shallow glass dish, combine wine, thyme, oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Add steak and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in refrigerator for 8-24 hours, turning steak occasionally to coat with marinade.

Prepare and heat grill. Place steak on greased grill over hot coals; brush with marinade to coat. Cover grill and cook steak for 7 to 8 minutes per side or until medium. Remove from grill, cover, and let stand for 5 minutes before carving. Discard remaining marinade.
