Steak Marinade

Ingredients

• 4 cloves garlic – minced
• 1 tbsp rosemary – fresh, finely chopped
• 1 tsp thyme – fresh, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tbsp lemon juice – freshly squeezed
• 1 tbsp brown sugar – packed
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
• beef steak – for marinating (not included)

Instructions

1. Mince the garlic and finely chop the rosemary and thyme.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and brown sugar until the sugar dissolves.
3. Stir in the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, black pepper, onion powder, and red pepper flakes.
4. Place beef steak in a resealable bag or shallow nonreactive dish. Pour the marinade over, press out excess air, and turn to coat. Refrigerate 2–8 hours, turning once halfway; the surface should be evenly stained and slightly tacky.
5. Remove the steak from the marinade and pat very dry. Discard used marinade. Cook the steak as desired and rest before slicing.
6. For food safety, do not reuse marinade that has contacted raw meat. If you want a sauce, boil a separate fresh batch of this marinade for 3–5 minutes until bubbling and slightly reduced.
