The BEST Steak Marinade!

Here’s the deal. I love a good steak. Seriously, check out this Marinated Grilled Vegetable and Steak Kabobs recipe…Is there ever a wrong way to cook a steak? Kabobs, on the grill, in the smoker…it’s all wonderful and great. But one thing that I truly feel is a must? Every steak needs a good steak marinade. 

The good news? This steak marinade is seriously the best. Simple, easy and delicious. What more can you want? (besides these Teriyaki Smoked Steak Bites…so good!)

Ingredients Needed to Make Steak Marinade

The combination of these ingredients makes this marinade so delicious.

• Worcestershire sauce
• soy sauce 
• extra virgin olive oil
• light brown sugar
• ground black pepper
• garlic powder
• honey
• steaks (any cut)

How to Make Steak Marinade

1. In a small bowl whisk all the ingredients except the steak.
2. Add steaks to a resealable ziplock bag or large bowl and pour the marinade over the top of the steak. Squeeze as much air out of the bag as possible and seal.
3. Marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
4. To make steaks in the skillet: Turn heat to high and let preheat a few minutes until skillet is hot. Place steaks in the skillet. Cook each side for 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-high. Cook steaks to the desired doneness, flipping as needed. It will take about 10 minutes depending on the thickness of steaks. I prefer mine to be about 145 degrees which is medium.
5. To make steaks on the grill. Preheat grill to medium-high. Place steaks on the grill. Cook 4-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches at least 145 degrees F for medium.
6. Let steak rests 3 minutes before serving. 

FAQs on Making this Easy Steak Marinade!

You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers! Here are some answers to some of the main questions that arise regarding marinating steaks. 

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

Should you marinate steak?

Absolutely. Marinating a steak gives it time to soak in all those ingredients and flavor. The longer that you let a steak marinade, the more flavorful it is going to be. Your marinade should complement your steak, not overpower it. 

If I have frozen steaks I’ll actually throw the frozen steak in a marinade and let it thaw in the marinade. It’s makes it so easy and the steak is amazing!

How long do you marinate steak?

This all depends on how strong you want that marinade flavor to be. At a minimum, you should marinade for 2 hours, but overnight or even 24 hours is best.
