Grilled Eye of Round Steaks with Wasabi-Yogurt Cream

Yogurt, ginger and garlic create a tenderizing marinade for Eye of Round Steaks. While the steaks grill, a creamy wasabi sauce is whipped up.

Cook Mode

Ingredients:

  • 4 beef Eye of Round Steaks, cut 3/4 inch thick (about 4 ounces each)
  • 1-1/2 cups plain yogurt, divided
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon wasabi paste

Cooking:

  1. Combine 1/2 cup yogurt, ginger and garlic in small bowl. Place beef steaks and yogurt mixture in food-safe plastic bag; turn steaks to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 6 hours or as long as overnight, turning occasionally.
  2. Meanwhile line a strainer with paper towels; set over small bowl. Place remaining 1 cup yogurt in strainer. Cover; let drain in refrigerator 30 minutes or as long as overnight to thicken.
  3. Remove steaks from marinade; discard marinade. Place steaks on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 10 to 12 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas gril, times remain the same) for medium rare (145°F) doneness, turning occasionally. (Do not overcook.)
  4. Meanwhile combine thickened yogurt and wasabi paste. Set aside.
  5. Carve steaks into thin slices; season with salt and pepper, as desired. Serve with wasabi- yogurt mixture.
