The World’s Best Steak Marinade
This marinade is a game-changer. It’s simple, quick to prepare, and requires ingredients you probably already have. The result? A mouthwatering steak that will have everyone asking for your secret!
### Ingredients
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 1.5 to 2 pounds of steak (your choice - flank, sirloin, or ribeye)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, brown sugar, black pepper, onion powder, and red pepper flakes until combined.
- Place your steak in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it’s well coated. Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, but for maximum flavor, overnight is best.
- When ready to cook, remove the steak from the marinade and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps it cook evenly.
- Preheat your grill (or stovetop grill pan) to medium-high heat. Remove excess marinade from the steak but do not rinse it off.
- Grill the steak for about 4-6 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness and your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy—130°F for medium-rare, and 145°F for medium.
- Once done, let the steak rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices. Serve it up and enjoy every delicious bite!
Now you’re all set to enjoy a steak that’s not only tender and juicy but also packed with flavor. Whether it’s a summer barbecue or a cozy dinner at home, this marinade is sure to become your go-to. Happy grilling!
