Recipe of the week -- Hobo Marinated Steak

Do you have a go-to summer recipe? One that you run for when company's coming or maybe just because it's really good?

This is mine. We can eat this as much as once a week in the summer and it always gets rave reviews when served to company.

This recipe has been in the family for forever it seems like, but I think it was actually my mom that made this up by modifying another recipe when I was little.

Hobo Marinated Steak
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. black pepper
4 boneless steaks (we have used round steak, cubed steak and sirloin...whatever happens to be in the freezer)

Mix the ketchup, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, garlic and pepper in a large resealable ziploc bag. Shake to mix well. Add steaks. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. Grill as desired.

If you have leftovers (we rarely do), they are good sliced up in stir-fry or salads.
