Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Honey
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and balsamic vinegar. Stir until well-mixed.
Add the olive oil and brown sugar to the bowl. Whisk until the sugar dissolves completely, creating a smooth base.
Stir in the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Add the water and honey to the bowl, and whisk all the ingredients together until the mixture is uniform.
Place your steaks in a resealable plastic bag or airtight container. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are completely submerged or well-coated.
Seal the bag or container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat.
Before grilling, remove the steaks from the marinade and pat them dry with a paper towel. Reserve some marinade to use as a basting sauce (do not reuse marinade that has touched raw meat without cooking it first).
Grill the steaks over medium-high heat to your desired doneness, basting occasionally with the reserved sauce for an extra punch of flavor.
Let the grilled steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain their juices. Enjoy!
