Best Steak Marinade
This steak marinade recipe not only infuses the steak with amazing flavor but also 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.
