Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (e.g., Louisiana hot sauce)
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, and lemon juice. Whisk together until well blended.
Add the Dijon mustard and brown sugar to the bowl, and whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Stir in the hot sauce, minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried oregano, black pepper, and cayenne pepper, mixing thoroughly.
Place the steak cuts (e.g., ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon) in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow glass dish.
Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring all sides are thoroughly coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor.
When ready to cook, remove the steaks from the marinade and let them come to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes.
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear, then grill or pan-sear to your desired doneness.
Serve hot and enjoy the bold, zesty flavors of Louisiana!
