The Ultimate Steak Marinade: Elevate Your Grilling Game
Unlock the full potential of your steaks with this exceptional marinade.
Ingredients
- ½ cup olive oil
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
1. Prepare the Marinade:
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, chopped parsley, black pepper, and onion powder. Whisk thoroughly until the ingredients are well blended, creating a smooth and cohesive marinade.
2. Marinate the Steak:
Place your chosen cuts of steak into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow glass dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours. For optimal flavor infusion, marinate overnight.
3. Grill or Cook:
Remove the steaks from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the used marinade. Grill or cook the steaks to your desired level of doneness, using a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy (e.g., 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium). Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serving Suggestions
Enhance your meal by pairing the marinated steak with complementary sides such as:
- Roasted garlic mashed potatoes
