Best Steak Marinade
With just a few ingredients and seasonings, this truly is the Best Steak Marinade Recipe. It not only infuses every bite of your steak with flavor but helps tenderize the meat so you get a tender, juicy steak every time.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
For serving:
- 4 (1-inch thick) sirloin or New York strip steaks
- slab of butter
- chopped parsley
Instructions
- Pour all of the marinade ingredients in a resealable gallon sized plastic bag. Mix to combine.
- Add steaks, seal, and turn to coat. Marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight (the longer, the better.)
- Discard marinade. Blot steaks dry with a paper towel.
- Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat; swirl to coat. When it just begins to smoke, add steaks.
- Sear steaks in batches, depending on how they fit. Cook on each side for 2-3 minutes or until outside is browned. Reduce heat and cook the steaks to the desired doneness. (Mine took about 9 minutes, flipping 3 times, to get medium and an internal temperature of 145°F)
- Transfer to a plate; cover loosely with foil and let rest for 5 minutes. (Steaks will continue to cook slightly as they rest.)
- Serve whole or thinly sliced across the grain with a dab of butter and sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley.
