Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Water (optional, to dilute as needed)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce and brown sugar. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Add the olive oil and lemon juice to the bowl, continuing to whisk until well combined.
Mix in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, ground black pepper, and ground cumin.
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce to enhance the marinade’s depth of flavor.
If the mixture is too concentrated, add the water one tablespoon at a time to dilute to your preferred strength.
Place your steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor infusion.
Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels before grilling or cooking as desired. Discard any leftover marinade that has come into contact with raw meat.
