Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef steak
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 units garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Begin by preparing the marinade. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, dried rosemary, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt. Stir the mixture until the sugar is completely dissolved and all ingredients are well combined.
Place the beef steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow glass dish. Pour the marinade over the beef, ensuring that all pieces are well-coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours, or for maximum flavor, let it marinate overnight.
Once the marinating time has passed, remove the beef from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 20 minutes.
Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat.
Remove the beef from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess marinade, as this allows for proper searing.
Place the beef on the preheated grill or skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the desired level of doneness is reached.
Remove the beef from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a tender and juicy steak.
Slice the beef across the grain and serve it hot alongside your favorite sides.
