Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Steak (ribeye, sirloin, or your preferred cut)
- 0.5 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, for basting)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, honey, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade. Whisk well to combine.
Place the steaks in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the steaks for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for more intense flavors. Turn the steaks occasionally to evenly marinate.
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
Preheat your grill, grill pan, or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the cooking surface to prevent sticking.
Remove the steaks from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting if desired.
Cook the steaks for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).
If desired, baste the steaks occasionally with the reserved marinade or place a small pat of butter on top during the last minute of cooking.
Remove the steaks from the grill or pan and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain their juices.
Serve the steaks warm with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
