How to Cook Oyster Blade Steak on the BBQ

Cooking oyster blade steak on the BBQ is easier than you think. Simply marinate for 20 mins, grill 2-4 mins per side on medium-high heat, and serve medium-rare after resting for a few minutes. Pretty simple, right? That’s the point!

At my local Coles, this is going for around $22 a kilo. In today’s market, that’s a steal for something so delicious, especially when cooked just right on the BBQ, so this recipe is definitely one to add to your repertoire.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 500 g oyster blade steaks (4 x 120g)

Marinade

• 1 tbsp salt
• 1 tbsp pepper
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp vinegar (balsamic or red wine)

Instructions

 

• Combine salt, pepper, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, and a splash of vinegar in a large dish or zip-top bag. Add the steaks, making sure they're fully coated. Let them marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature to soak up the flavours.
• Heat your BBQ to medium-high. Take the steaks out of the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Cook them for 2 to 4 minutes on each side, or until they're done to your preference.
• Move the steaks to a clean plate, loosely cover them with foil, and let them rest for 5 minutes. This step helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
• Enjoy the steaks with your choice of sides, pouring over any juices that have collected while they were resting.

Notes

If you can't be bothered making your own marinade, try mixing some of our SPG rub or another rub with a few tablespoons of olive oil. Or, if you're feeling more adventurous, you can have a browse of our handy spice guide to get more ideas for suitable pairings.
