Description
This steak marinade is a bold, savory blend that transforms any cut into juicy, flavorful, tender perfection. Ideal for grilling, pan-searing, or broiling, it delivers restaurant-quality steak every time.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp brown sugar or honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all ingredients until well combined and sugar is dissolved.
- Place steaks in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour marinade over them. Ensure steaks are fully coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
- Before cooking, bring steak to room temperature for 30 minutes. Pat dry to promote good searing.
- Cook steak to desired doneness and let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Add bourbon, red wine, or smoked paprika for flavor variations.
- Use coconut aminos for a soy-free alternative.
- Do not reuse marinade that has touched raw meat.
- Set aside some marinade before adding meat if you want sauce for later.
- Marinate up to 24 hours, but avoid over-marinating to maintain texture.
