Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean beef sirloin
- 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.25 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, freshly squeezed orange juice, extra virgin olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Mix well to form the marinade base.
Add the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the marinade, stirring until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Place the lean beef sirloin in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
Pour the marinade over the beef, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the beef in the marinade for at least 1 hour, turning it occasionally. For best results, marinate for up to 8 hours.
Remove the beef from the refrigerator 15 minutes before cooking to allow it to reach room temperature.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the beef from the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the marinade.
Grill the beef for about 6 to 7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches the desired level of doneness. Aim for an internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare.
Let the beef rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Slice the beef thinly against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy mouth-watering, heart-healthy marinated beef as a main dish or in salads and wraps.
