Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the red wine, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce, whisking thoroughly to incorporate the liquids.
Add the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, black pepper, kosher salt, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the bowl. Stir well to evenly distribute the herbs and spices.
Pour the marinade into a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish large enough to hold your beef.
Add the beef to the marinade, ensuring it is completely submerged and coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight for maximum flavor infusion. Turn the beef occasionally to ensure even marinating.
Before cooking, remove the beef from the marinade and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Discard the marinade and pat the beef dry with paper towels for optimal searing or grilling results.
Cook the beef according to your preferred method (grilling, roasting, or pan-searing) and enjoy the deep, savory flavors of the marinade!
