Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or 1 tablespoon fresh
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Method
 

  1. Make the Marinade:
  2. In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, Dijon, garlic, brown sugar, pepper, and herbs until well combined.
  3. Marinate the Steaks:
  4. Place ribeye steaks in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over the steaks, seal, and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 1 to 8 hours (don’t exceed 8 hours to avoid over-tenderizing).
  5. Cook the Steaks:
  6. Remove steaks from the marinade and let them come to room temperature (about 30 minutes). Pat dry for better searing. Grill, pan-sear, or broil to your preferred doneness.
  7. Rest & Serve:
  8. Let steaks rest for 5 minutes after cooking. Slice and serve with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Best cuts: Works beautifully with ribeye, NY strip, sirloin, or flank steak.
  • No salt added: Soy sauce and Worcestershire provide the saltiness—add extra only after tasting.
  • Flavor twist: Add a splash of lemon juice or a bit of smoked paprika for depth.
  • Storage: Unused marinade (not in contact with raw meat) can be refrigerated up to 1 week.
