The first step of making an outback steak is to prepare the meat. Fillet steaks or rib eye steaks, which are easily available in grocery shops or meat farms, are considered to be the best meats for outback steak. While choosing the meat, you must ensure that it is fresh and the animal from which the steak has been taken was young and supple. The meat for the steak should be red and juicy.

Marinade plays an important role in adding a distinct flavour to any kind of a steak. Add salt, ground black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric, coriander and cayenne pepper in order to get the exact taste of the outback steak.
Put all the above mentioned ingredients in small bowl and mix them nicely, while allowing the steak to marinate. Now you need to rub the mixture to all sides of the steak, which will allow the flavour to penetrate and seep deeper into the steak. It is recommended that you let the marinade to work overnight. It can also be used for barbecues. -
