Ingredients:
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
• 1 teaspoon mustard (Dijon or yellow)
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Marinade:
1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, rosemary, thyme, mustard, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
2. Taste the marinade and adjust seasonings to your preference. If you like it a little sweeter, add more honey or brown sugar. If you prefer more acidity, add a splash more vinegar.
2. Marinate the Steak:
1. Place your steaks (any cut—ribeye, sirloin, flank, etc.) in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
2. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated.
3. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, but for best results, let them marinate for 2–4 hours (or overnight for maximum flavor).
3. Cook the Steak:
1. Preheat your grill or pan to medium-high heat.
2. Remove the steaks from the marinade and discard the marinade.
3. Cook the steaks to your desired doneness, usually about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness.
4. Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
4. Serve:
1. Serve the perfectly marinated steaks with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad. Enjoy the amazing flavor!
