Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 4 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, and balsamic vinegar until well combined.
Add the brown sugar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, dried rosemary, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk again until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the sugar has dissolved.
Place your steak cuts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring all sides are fully covered.
Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, for maximum flavor infusion.
Remove the steak from the marinade and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
Discard the used marinade, and cook the steak using your preferred method (grilling, pan-searing, or broiling).
Rest the cooked steak for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
