Cooking for LaDale revisited

Previously I wrote about my not so wonderful cooking experiences and I received back many brilliant words of advice. Well, recently I took all that advice to heart and now I am updated my experiences.
I had a pretty great steak tonight for dinner. I cut the piece in half, so it was thinner. I pounded it some and then marinaded it in my own, sort of, concoction. (I placed it in a container with a little olive oil, soy sauce, some freshly cut garlic and onion, a bit of brown sugar and enough water to cover the meat). Then after about 5 hours, I cooked it, remembering to take it out of the oven a little before it was nicely done and -Viola- It was great. So, THANKS to everyone who helped me out.
