For cooking I usually keep a 4-pack of inexpensive, single-serve wine bottles in the house. Its a better option than cooking wine which is loaded with sodium and more expensive. One bottle is about right for a single recipe; or you can always use half at a time and keep the other half in the fridge. (They are small and would fit nicely next to the ketchup and salad dressing bottles.) All the alcohol boils off during cooking so you just get the flavor. The "source" below shows an example of what I’m taking about.
I guess you could use grape juice but you could just leave it out all together or substitute some other sort of acidic liquid
Just buy a cheap bottle. $13 is not going to break the bank. You can always use it whenever you’re cooking meat for marinating or serve it to guests.
You could try using a little vinegar (two tablespoonfuls) and about a glass of water.
If you like tasting new flavors chop up some rosemary spice and spread it all over the steak after you put the vinegar on it. Than turn it over so all the aroma goes on the meat and not up in the air.
The meat turns a little grey purple so don’t worry. Vinegar is acidic and so it is natural that the color changes a tiny bit. Don’t be concerned. The meat will be delicious! Enjoy that steak and all the best.
