Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and balsamic vinegar.
Stir in the brown sugar, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, Dijon mustard, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until fully incorporated.
Place your steak cuts (approximately 4 servings or 1.5-2 lbs of steak) in a zip-top plastic bag or shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated. If using a dish, flip the steaks to coat both sides.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, then refrigerate the steaks for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours for maximized flavor and tenderness.
Remove the steaks from the marinade and lightly pat them dry with paper towels before cooking to help achieve a good sear.
Cook the steaks using your preferred method (grill, pan-sear, or broil) to your desired doneness.
Allow the cooked steaks to rest for 5 minutes before serving to let the juices redistribute.
