Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice or red wine vinegar
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or 1 tsp dried
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme or ½ tsp dried

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Marinade
  2. In a bowl or zip-top bag, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, garlic, pepper, salt, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice. Add the rosemary and thyme sprigs.
  3. Marinate the Steak
  4. Place your steak in the marinade, ensuring it’s well coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours. Flip halfway through for even marination.
  5. Remove & Rest
  6. Take the steak out of the marinade 20–30 minutes before cooking. Let it come to room temperature. Pat dry with paper towels to encourage browning.
  7. Cook Your Steak
  8. Grill or pan-sear the steak to your desired doneness. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing to retain juices.

Notes

  • For Best Flavor: Don’t marinate longer than 4 hours to avoid breaking down the texture of the meat.
  • Perfect Pairing: This marinade is excellent for ribeye, sirloin, New York strip, or flank steak.
  • Browning Tip: Always dry the steak before cooking to get a beautiful crust.
  • Leftover Marinade: Discard or boil before using as a sauce (for food safety).
