Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 6 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and honey. Whisk until well blended.
Add minced garlic, thyme leaves, rosemary, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine, ensuring the garlic and herbs are evenly distributed throughout the marinade.
Place your steaks (up to 2 pounds) in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the steaks for at least 2 hours, or up to 12 hours for maximum flavor. Turn the steaks halfway through marinating to ensure even flavor distribution.
Remove the steaks from the marinade and let them rest at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before cooking. Discard the used marinade.
Cook the steaks to your desired doneness using your method of choice, such as grilling, pan-searing, or broiling. Serve immediately and enjoy!
