Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Dry red wine
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 medium Onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the dry red wine, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Whisk until the sugar dissolves completely.
Add the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Mix in the sliced onion, ensuring it is evenly coated in the marinade.
Transfer the marinade to a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish large enough to hold the beef. If using a dish, ensure the beef is fully submerged in the marinade.
Add your beef cuts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag tightly or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Place the beef in the refrigerator to marinate for a minimum of 4 hours or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor. Turn the beef occasionally to ensure even absorption of the marinade.
When ready to cook, remove the beef from the marinade and let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before cooking. Discard the used marinade.
Proceed to cook the beef using your preferred method, such as grilling, roasting, or pan-searing.
