Ingredients

• 2 pounds Top round steak
• 0.5 cup A1 sauce
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Polenta (dry cornmeal)
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.75 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 cup Bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine A1 sauce, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the top round steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 3

When ready to cook the steak, preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Grill the steak for about 4-6 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (use a meat thermometer to check: 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium). Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 5

While the steak is resting, prepare the polenta. In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil.

Step 6

Slowly whisk in the polenta, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, for 15-20 minutes or until the polenta thickens and is tender.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, crumbled bacon, butter, and salt. Continue stirring until everything is fully incorporated and the polenta is creamy.

Step 8

To serve, spread a generous scoop of the bacon Parmesan polenta onto each plate. Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips and arrange on top of the polenta.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
