Sweet Apple Marinade (allium, soy free)

• 4-5 steaks (I prefer this marinade for pork or venison)

• 1/4 cup olive or avocado oil

• 1/4 cup apple juice or cider

• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

• 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite steak seasoning (I like Montreal Steak Seasoning, but allium free folks will want a blend of salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, and marjoram)

• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce (optional)

Place your steaks in a low dish, and coat both sides liberally with your steak seasoning.

Whisk your oil, juice, vinegar, and Worcestershire Sauce together in a small bowl, and pour evenly over the steaks, making sure they’re all covered in the marinade. Cover the dish, and set in the refrigerator for at least six hours, preferably overnight. Bring to room temperature before cooking.

If grilling, grill over medium-high heat until each steak temps 130°F (medium-rare) or above, usually 10-15 minutes.

If air frying, 16-20 minutes at 400°F, flipping at the halfway point.

If using cast iron, preheat your oven to 450°F with your greased cast iron inside, while you bring your steaks to room temperature. Remove your skillet from the oven carefully and place on a burner. Sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side, before putting the steaks in the skillet into the oven for three minutes. At three minutes, start to temp your steaks, and temp them every 90 seconds until they're 130°F or your preferred temperature.
