Ingredients
½ cup soy sauce
⅓ cup olive oil
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and black pepper until fully combined.
2. Place your steak in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, coating it well. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
3. Remove steak from marinade and let excess drip off. Pat dry slightly for a better sear.
4. Grill, pan-sear, or broil steak to your preferred doneness.
5. Let the cooked steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Marinate for at least 1 hour, but overnight gives best results.
Use a glass or ceramic dish for marinating to avoid metallic flavors.
Patting the steak dry before cooking helps develop a beautiful crust.
