1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, minced

Calypso Steak Recipe – Method

Combine all of the ingredients except the steaks in a shallow baking dish.
Add the steaks and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours.
Turn the steaks halfway through marinating time.

Pack 12 briquettes onto the coal grid inside your PotjieKing™ and place a couple fire lighters in the bottom section and get that going. Once the briquettes have turned grey / whitish, you are good to go. As this recipe has rum in it you can expect a few flare-ups. Keep the bottom door closed to restrict the air to the fire.

Remove steaks from the marinade and place on the braai grid.
Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, then turn.
Continue braaing until your steaks are how you like them.
Serve and enjoy!
