How to prepare marinade

This steak marinade recipe is so simple! All you literally have to do is mix together all the ingredients and add the mixture and steak into a Ziploc bag. Seal and let marinate for a minimum of 2 hours in the fridge. We personally like to pop our steak in the marinade the night before and let it marinate until dinner the next night!

Here are a few quick tips and tricks about this steak marinade.

If you have additional questions leave us a comment and we will do our best to answer them!

Should I marinate steak?

Absolutely! While steak has wonderful flavor in itself, a steak marinade will take it to a whole other level. Marinating your steak allows for your taste buds to have an enhanced experience with every single bite.

Can you marinade steak too long?

The longer that you continue to marinate your steaks, the strong the flavor is going to be. If you’re using a marinate that is salty, it is possible that you can marinate your steak too long. A good rule of thumb is not marinating for longer than 24 hours in length.

Do different cuts of steak required different marinade recipes?

Not at all. Once you decide on a steak marinade that you love, use it for all the varying cuts of meat! If you love it, be happy that you found one that’s versatile to use.

Should you rinse off any excess marinade from your steak?

No, if there happen to be any marinade on your steak that seems in excess, leave it on there during cooking. There’s a cook chance that once you start flipping it on the grill it will either cook into the steak or fall off if it’s too much. Always discard any remaining marinade you have left over.

What are you waiting for? Grab some steaks and toss them in the marinade.

Then invite your friends over and toss the steaks on the grill.

No one is going to say no to that invitation for dinner!

Ingredients

Marinade

• ▢ 4 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar

• ▢ 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• ▢ 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ▢ 3 Tablespoons minced garlic
• ▢ 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steaks

• ▢ 1 ½ pounds steak 2-4 steaks

Instructions

• In a small bowl, whisk together first 8 ingredients.
• Add steaks to a resealable zip lock bag or large bowl and pour the marinade over the top of the steak. Squeeze as much air out of bag as possible and seal.

• To cook steaks on a skillet: Turn heat to high and let preheat. Place steaks in hot skillet. Cook for 3 minutes on each side. Reduce heat to medium-high. Cook steaks to desired doneness, flipping as needed. It will take about 10 minutes depending on thickness of steaks. I prefer mine to be about 145 degrees Fahrenheit, which is medium.
