Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar or honey
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary or thyme
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and brown sugar or honey.
  2. Stir in Dijon mustard, garlic, black pepper, and any optional seasonings.
  3. Place steak in a zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over meat and ensure it’s well coated.
  4. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally 6–8 hours. For tougher cuts, marinate overnight.
  5. Remove steak from marinade, pat dry, and cook as desired—grill, broil, or pan-sear to your liking.

Notes

  • Do not reuse marinade unless it has been boiled for at least 5 minutes.
  • Pat steak dry before cooking for a better sear.
  • Store unused marinade in the fridge for up to 1 week.
  • Can be used on chicken, pork, or tofu with adjusted marinating times.
  • Try variations like adding bourbon, red wine, or maple syrup for different flavor profiles.
