Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 pounds steaks (e.g., ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey until well combined.
Add the minced garlic, rosemary, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Place the steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are completely coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight for maximum flavor absorption.
When ready to cook, remove the steaks from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Allow the steaks to sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before cooking.
Cook the steaks to your desired level of doneness using your preferred method (grilling, pan-searing, or broiling). Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve and enjoy your perfectly flavored steak, enhanced by this delicious homemade marinade!
