Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice until fully combined.
Add the brown sugar, minced garlic, black pepper, paprika, and red chili flakes (if using). Mix well to dissolve the sugar.
Place the fresh rosemary sprig into the marinade and gently bruise it to release its aroma.
Pour the marinade into a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Add the beef (steaks, ribs, or preferred cuts) to the marinade, making sure the meat is fully coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, ideally 6-8 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.
Remove the beef from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels before grilling. Discard the marinade to avoid cross-contamination.
Grill the beef to your desired doneness and enjoy the rich, enhanced flavors!
