- ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- ½ tsp ground black pepper (or to taste)
- Salt (to taste)
Main Ingredient
- 2 lb steaks
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic cloves. Season the mixture with salt and ground black pepper to your preference.
- Marinate the Steaks: Place the steaks into a large ziplock freezer bag, then pour the prepared marinade over the steaks. Seal the bag and refrigerate for a few hours to overnight to allow the flavors to deeply penetrate the meat.
- Cook the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade. Cook the steaks either on a stove-top skillet or grill over medium-high heat until they reach your desired level of doneness, ensuring a flavorful and juicy finish.
Notes
- Marinate the steaks for at least 2 hours, but for best results, marinate overnight.
- Discard the used marinade to avoid contamination; do not reuse marinade as a sauce unless it is boiled first.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
- Suitable cuts for this marinade include ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak.
- For a smoky flavor, prefer grilling over stovetop cooking.
