Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, and lemon juice to create the liquid base for the marinade.
Add minced garlic, fresh rosemary, thyme, and parsley to the bowl. Mix well to evenly distribute the herbs.
Stir in honey, black pepper, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) for additional flavor. Whisk the mixture until all ingredients are fully emulsified.
Place your steaks in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully submerged or evenly coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the steaks for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight for the best flavor infusion.
Before cooking, remove the steaks from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. Discard any leftover marinade.
Cook the steaks to your desired level of doneness using your favorite method, such as grilling or pan-searing.
