Chops Grille - Random Question

[Kayla103]

Hey all,

 

I've been searching for this for a while, but does anyone know of a copycat recipe for the Chops Grille steak marinade?

 

When we took our honeymoon cruise two years ago my husband got it and to this day he STILL talks about how that was the best steak he's ever had. I'd like to try and replicate for our anniversary. Hopefully next year we will be having the real thing. ;)

No one has a answer. I hope there is not a Marinade....just a good steak.

 

Did you google it.

Typically a good steak is just that, a good piece of meat. Usually salt and pepper is enough seasoning.

pretty sure there is no marinading involved at all.

You will be amazed at what black pepper and salt (coarse sea salt preferably) will do :) I dont like marinades of any kind and can usually tell when one has been put on a steak. I dont believe Chops uses marinade. Just salt and pepper and MAYBE a little garlic powder.

Thanks all!

 

I tried googling it with no luck. I wasn't sure if there was a special marinade they did to the meat. Thank you for the help anyway :)

 

At least I have the cookbook that has the soup :p

just find a butcher and get a GOOD cut of meat. make a compound butter using salted butter.

 

that's all you need. that and the proper technique to cook it

You have to get a good sear on the outside of the meat. So a nice hot cast iron skillet or grill is best

Thanks for the advice! I know most of what you've been saying, some is new to me. I just didn't know if there was a special marinade for the steak Chops cooks. I know some of the specialty restaurants have a special butter or something they put on the steak. So, I was just checking because I want to use the RCI cookbook to create the meal we had during our honeymoon for our anniversary. Obviously, will not be the same by any means ;)

 

Thanks again everyone! Keep sending the advice, I may know it, I may not. But heck, I'm open to suggestions.
