If you can throw away the possible bias of initial configuration to the 
simulation results, what you can do is to in step 2 is

2.1. Solvate the system with >1000 (e.g.: 1300?) water first.
2.2 Remove some water, say 100
2.3 add ethanol using genbox
2.4 if there is not enough ethanol, go to 2.2.

Then really equilibrate your system well by running long time simulation 
and high temperature. Glycine can be fixed with position restraints.

The problem here is no randomness is random.
