Marinated Filet Mignon

<!-- -->

So what if you're a steak-and-potatoes eater? Now's the time to be! And while marinating your steak in lemon soda may sound strange, you should do it because it makes steak amazingly tender!

  • 2 filet mignon steaks, all fat and shiny membrane removed
  • 1 cup Hansen's lemon-lime soda
  • ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 tsp canola oil (if using cast-iron skillet)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1
    Combine all ingredients except salt and pepper in a resealable plastic bag; add steaks and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, turning bag several times.
  • 2
    Preheat a cast iron skillet or nonstick grill pan on medium-high until water "dances" on the surface.
  • 3
    Brush oil on surface of skillet; use cooking spray for nonstick grill pan.
  • 4
    Season meat with salt and pepper, then place on hot skillet.
  • 5
    Sear each side for 2 minutes; reduce heat to medium.
  • 6
    Cook steaks an additional 4 minutes on each side; basting with marinade as they cook.
  • 7
    Remove steaks to a plate, cover with a large bowl, and allow steaks to rest for 15 minutes before serving.
  • Serve with a spinach salad drizzled with olive oil and fresh lemon for extra iron.
