Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 pounds steak cuts (e.g., ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), and freshly squeezed lemon juice until well combined.
Place the steak cuts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring the meat is fully coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap, then place in the refrigerator.
Allow the steak to marinate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor. Flip the steak halfway through marinating to ensure even coating.
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
Discard the used marinade, then grill, pan-sear, or broil the steaks to your desired doneness. Remember to let the cooked steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving to retain juiciness.
