Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice.
Add the minced garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, ground black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes (if desired).
Whisk the marinade thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined and smooth.
Place your steak (about 1-2 pounds) in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the steak and let it marinate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor. Flip the steak halfway through the marinating time to ensure even coverage.
When ready to cook, remove the steak from the marinade and discard the remaining liquid.
Grill, pan-sear, or broil your steak to your desired doneness. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
