Description

This flavorful steak marinade blends soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, herbs, and lemon juice to create a tender, juicy, and deeply seasoned steak. Perfect for enhancing the natural flavors of various steak cuts, this marinade is easy to prepare and ideal for grilling or stovetop cooking.


Ingredients

Steak

  • 700 g steak (flank, sirloin, ribeye, or strip steak)

Marinade

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: Whisk all marinade ingredients together in a bowl until thoroughly combined, ensuring the flavors meld well.
  2. Marinate the Steak: Place the steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, turning to coat evenly. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, ideally between 2 to 8 hours for maximum flavor and tenderness.
  3. Remove and Discard Marinade: Take the steak out of the marinade, discarding any leftover marinade to avoid contamination during cooking.
  4. Preheat Cooking Surface: Heat a grill or skillet over high heat until very hot, preparing for a good sear on the steak.
  5. Cook the Steak: Place the steak on the preheated grill or skillet. Cook to your preferred doneness, typically 3-5 minutes per side depending on thickness and desired internal temperature.
  6. Rest the Steak: Transfer the cooked steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy bite.
  7. Slice and Serve: Cut the steak against the grain into slices and serve immediately for optimal tenderness and flavor.

Notes

  • Flank, sirloin, ribeye, and strip steak are all excellent choices for this marinade.
  • Do not marinate for more than 8 hours, as the acidic components can begin to break down the meat and alter its texture.
  • Pat the steak dry before searing to achieve a better crust and prevent steaming.
