Easy Steak Marinade - Mommy Hates Cooking

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to rev up that grill and add some zing to your steak:

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar (or a vinegary option of your choice)
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp sugar (to balance things out!)
  • Your choice of steak (flank, ribeye, sirloin—you do you!)

Instructions

Now that you have all your ingredients lined up like excited kids at a candy store, it’s time to get mixing!

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and sugar. This magical concoction is what dreams are made of.
  2. Place your steak in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish, pour the marinade over the meat, and seal or cover. Make sure your steak gets a good soak—no part should be left behind!
  3. Refrigerate and let the steak marinate for at least 30 minutes, but ideally, let it sit for a few hours or overnight for maximum flavor penetration—think of it as a flavor vacation for your steak.
  4. When you’re ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade (don’t forget to let it drip off those excess liquids) and grill to your desired doneness. Remember, more char equals more flavor!
  5. Once done, let the steak rest for a few minutes to allow those juices to redistribute (or else they’ll run away and create a juicy mess on your plate).
  6. Slice, serve, and get ready for the compliments to roll in! Trust me, your steak will be the star of the dinner table.

And just like that, you’ve turned a plain steak into a masterpiece! Enjoy every bite, and may your grill always be warm and inviting!
