Description
A flavorful steak marinade made with pantry staples like soy sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and spices to enhance the taste of any cut of beef. Perfect for grilling or pan-searing.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- ⅓ cup lemon juice
- ½ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 4 ribeye steaks (or your preferred cut)
- 4 tablespoons cold butter, cut into pats
- Finely chopped parsley and sea salt, for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
- Place the steaks in a large freezer bag or baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring even coating.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for 2–4 hours, flipping the steaks halfway through if marinating longer.
- About 20–30 minutes before cooking, remove the steaks from the fridge to come to room temperature.
- Preheat the grill to 450–500 °F and oil the grates well.
- Pat the steaks dry and grill them for about 3–4 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness.
- After grilling, top each steak with a pat of cold butter and let it melt.
- Sprinkle with sea salt and chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- You can use this marinade for other cuts like flank, skirt, hanger, or sirloin steak.
- For indoor cooking, use a cast-iron skillet with olive oil to sear the steaks.
- Adjust red pepper flakes to control spiciness.
- Swap Italian seasoning with fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for variation.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3–4 days or freeze sliced steak for up to 2–3 months.
