Hello fellow Beckerheads and knife nuts! I love food and cooking and I know many of you guys (and gals) do too. This is a speedy marinade recipe that my family and I love to use on venison and steak.

I took these pics a few weeks ago when I was making up a bunch of food for a camping trip I went on with my girlfriend and family. Sadly I did not get any pictures of the final product because my phone died and with how tasty these are they do not last long around the campfire.


Now pictures before the heads get too rowdy. First we start by making sure we have hydration, it's not a necessity but a good idea :D



My drink for the night was a Sam Addams porch rocker. I think it's a nice beer for the summer time.



BK-11 got the job done



After you have your drink of choice ready we are ready to move to cutting up the meat. For this job I picked the bk-15. I really love this knife in the kitchen and am incredibly happy with how long it will hold an edge while doing kitchen work.






After we have all of our meat cut up into a size that's easy to pop into your mouth while sitting around the fire we will move to mixing up the marinade.



This is the recipe but I will also type it so it's easier for others to read or copy and save!
• 1/2 cup of oil
• 2 tsp of meat tenderizer
• 2table spoons of Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 cup Ketchup
• 1tsp minced garlic (I usually add more because I love garlic)
• 1tsp of oregano
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup red wine or cooking sherry





Give it all a good mix to make sure the sugar is mostly dissolved in the solution. Then pour it over the cut up meat. After things are all mixed up put the meat and marinade into some big gallon freezer bags and put them in the fridge over night or longer to get all of that flavor soaked into the meat. Then when camping throw them on the grill and see how speedy they get eaten.





Sexy Becker clean up time




Thanks everyone for taking the time to read my thread. Feel free to comment with some of your favorite camping recipes that you uses your Beckers to make. Also let me know if you try this one and like it.
 
Looks great, I have been using the 5 for all my kitchen work lately and I love it, seeing this makes me think that a 15 would be a good investment too!
 
The 5 and the 15 are excellent in the kitchen. And the 11, well it's just super handy for hydration purposes!
 
I have been thinking about picking up a 15 for kitchen chores, but I'm hesitant to devote a non-stainless knife to food prep chores.

Wipe it dry when you're done and you're good to go. The non-stainless aspect is not as big a deal as it may seem. Seriously. I'll let others chime in.

Mine is stripped and etched, I just used it to trim some fat and tallow off a venison roast. I left it out before washing it and notices a blue tint developing on top/in/on the existing patina. Looks unique so its still sitting to see where it goes. Not worried about rust at this point with the slight patina going on.
If you area worried about non stainless, don't. Just keep it out of the dish washer and coat with mineral oil or olive oil when ya put it up.
 
As you can see from the pictures I haven't stripped mine but I haven't had any problems with rust on the edge. I have really enjoyed using it in the kitchen and it has become my go to kitchen knife because it's so comfortable. If I were to strip it I would just make sure I left the coating under the scales. The rest would be easy enough to take care of with those little dish scrubbers and oil. If to think about it, back in the day all kitchen knives were high carbon. Plus you get to use your Becker more!

I really like the blue/purple patina you get from processing meat.
