Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 pieces Steaks (such as ribeye, sirloin, or NY strip)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the soy sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
Place the steaks into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully submerged and coated.
Seal the bag tightly or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate and marinate the steaks for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor. Turn the steaks halfway through if using a shallow dish.
When ready to cook, remove the steaks from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. Discard the remaining marinade.
Cook the steaks on a hot grill, cast-iron skillet, or under a broiler to your desired level of doneness. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the steaks with your favorite sides and enjoy the rich, savory flavors from the soy garlic marinade.
