Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds round steak
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the round steak and tenderize it by pounding with a meat mallet on both sides. This will help to ensure even cooking and make the meat more tender.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, prepare the marinade by combining the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, vegetable oil, lemon juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, onion powder, ground black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Place the round steak in a large, resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring that it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate and allow to marinate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grates with a little vegetable oil to prevent the steak from sticking.
Remove the steak from the marinade and let the excess marinade drip off. Discard the marinade.
Place the steak on the preheated grill. Grill for approximately 8-10 minutes per side, or until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium, and 160°F (71°C) for well-done.
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips and serve hot. Pair with your favorite sides such as grilled vegetables, baked potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
