Ginger and Thyme Marinated Steak





A nice quick marinade, this makes enough for 1 steak. 
Only ½ syn


- 1 tablespoon soy sauce 
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger 
- a pinch of salt 
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- the leaves from 2 sprigs of fresh thyme (or a teaspoon of dried thyme)
- 1 teaspoon english mustard
- juice from half a lemon

- Mix all the ingredients together. Pour over the steak, cover dish and leave in fridge for half an hour (minimum, the longer the better)
- take the steak out about an hour before you want to cook it to get to room temperature. If you cook it once its room temperature the outside of the steak cooks better more evenly.
 - Cook the steak to your preferred level of cookedness, the easiest way to test this is the pressure test. Press the middle of the steak, a rare steak should be soft, medium will feel firmer but still squish-able and a well done steak will feel firm.
