Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, and honey. Whisk until the liquids are well blended.
Add the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) to the liquid mixture. Continue whisking to incorporate the spices evenly.
Fold in the chopped fresh rosemary to add a fragrant herbal note to the marinade.
Place your steaks in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, then refrigerate. Allow the steaks to marinate for at least 2 hours, but ideally overnight, for optimal flavor and tenderness.
Before cooking the steak, remove it from the marinade and let it rest at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Cook the steak to your desired doneness using your preferred method—grilling, pan-searing, or broiling—and enjoy the bold, complex flavors of your Terrific Steak Marinade.
