Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk or fork
  • 1 measuring spoons
  • 1 gallon-sized resealable plastic bag or shallow dish
  • 1 grill or grill pan
  • 1 tongs

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 lbs steak e.g., ribeye, sirloin, or your choice

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Whisk until ingredients are well blended.
  • Add minced garlic, black pepper, salt, rosemary, and thyme to the marinade. Whisk again to incorporate all the flavors.
  • Place the steak in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it’s well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish.
  • Refrigerate the steak in the marinade for at least 30 minutes, or up to 6 hours for maximum flavor. Do not marinate for more than 24 hours as it can affect the texture of the meat.
  • Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  • Remove the steak from the marinade and let the excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Place the steak on the grill and cook for about 4-6 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
  • Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately.

Notes

Feel free to customize the marinade by adding different herbs or spices according to your personal preferences.
If you have leftover marinade, it can be brought to a boil and used as a sauce, but ensure it is cooked thoroughly to eliminate any contamination from the raw meat.
