Description

This bold and savory steak marinade tenderizes and infuses deep flavor into your favorite cuts of beef. With the perfect balance of tangy balsamic, zesty Dijon, and aromatic garlic, it’s your go-to for grilling season and beyond.


Ingredients

1/3 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon honey

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

1 to 2 pounds steak


Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey.

2. Stir in minced garlic, black pepper, onion powder, and red pepper flakes if using.

3. Place steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over the meat and coat well.

4. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.

5. Remove steak from marinade, pat dry, and discard marinade.

6. Grill, pan-sear, or broil steak to desired doneness.

7. Let rest before slicing and serving.

Notes

Let the steak come to room temperature before cooking for even results.

Use a resealable bag for easy cleanup and full meat coverage.

Don’t skip drying the steak before searing—it helps create a great crust.
