Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 8-ounce steaks Steak cuts of choice (ribeye, sirloin, or strip steak)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly until the sugar dissolves and the ingredients are fully combined.
Place the steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are completely coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the steaks for at least 4 hours, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat. For best results, marinate overnight.
When ready to cook, remove the steaks from the marinade and let them come to room temperature for about 20 minutes. Discard the remaining marinade.
Preheat your grill or broiler to high heat (about 450-500°F). Oil the grill grates or line a broiler pan with foil to prevent sticking.
Cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your preferred doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, or 150°F for medium-well.
Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a plate or cutting board. Cover loosely with foil and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Serve the Black Diamond Marinated Steaks hot with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a fresh green salad. Enjoy!
