Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and balsamic vinegar. Whisk until the sugar dissolves completely.
Add the Dijon mustard and continue whisking until the mixture is well-emulsified.
Stir in the minced garlic, red pepper flakes, black pepper, chopped rosemary, thyme leaves, and lemon zest. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the herbs and spices.
Place your beef or wild game cuts into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow glass dish.
Pour the marinade over the meat, making sure all surfaces are coated evenly. If using a plastic bag, seal it and gently massage the marinade into the meat.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully permeate the meat.
When ready to cook, remove the meat from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels to promote even browning. Discard the remaining marinade.
Prepare your meat using your preferred cooking method—grill, roast, or pan-sear—and enjoy the depth of flavor this marinade imparts.
