Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, fresh lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and honey. Whisk until the ingredients are well blended.
Stir in the minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of all ingredients.
Place your beef cuts (such as steak, flank steak, or sirloin) in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the beef, ensuring all sides are coated evenly. If using a dish, cover it tightly with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the marinating beef for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully infuse.
When ready to cook, remove the beef from the marinade and discard the excess liquid. Pat the beef with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture before cooking.
Grill, roast, or pan-sear the beef to your desired level of doneness. Serve immediately and enjoy!
