Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 units Garlic cloves
- 0.25 cups Olive oil
- 0.25 cups Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves or use a garlic press for a smoother texture.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and brown sugar.
Add the chopped fresh rosemary, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes to the bowl. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Place your steaks in a large zip-top plastic bag or a glass baking dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully covered.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, for best flavor absorption. Turn the steaks occasionally to ensure even marination.
Remove the steaks from the marinade and allow them to come to room temperature before cooking.
Grill, pan-sear, or broil the steaks to your preferred doneness, discarding any leftover marinade.
Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. Enjoy!
