here's the marinade: ½ cinnamon stick

3 whole cloves

½ tsp grated nutmeg

1 tsp fresh orange zest

1 cup full bodied red wine -they suggest Amarone – very expensive, u can use Valpolicella

1 tbsp sugar

Bitman brings out his Stephen Hawking imitation at 1:14 for some reason...

any minimum length on marinade time?

[valnaples]

tantalizing! I hardly eat red meat anymore, I stick to cold water fatty fish for my "meat" protein...but I really will have to try this!

@biohax Of course!!!

@Samcaracha

actually, right around here 3:06 they're both talking at the same time but Bittman says, "you don't need any grease."

[Samcaracha]

Am I mistaken or didnt he use any fat in the pan?

[Saskia1806]

he mentions two wines: Amarone and Valpolicella

I love Mark Bitterman. Can anyone spell the wine for me? After I make it, I'll post another comment -- my hubbie is a die hard steak fan, so we'll see if this will work
