Description

Say goodbye to bland beef and hello to legendary steaks with this bold, zesty marinade. A savory mix of soy, lemon, garlic, and Worcestershire brings serious depth, tenderness, and that juicy, crave-worthy crust. Whether you’re firing up the grill or sizzling indoors, this 5-minute marinade turns every steak into a flavor-packed showstopper.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup olive oil

  • ⅓ cup soy sauce

  • ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice

  • ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce

  • 1½ tbsp garlic powder

Optional Flavor Twists:

  • 2 tsp chipotle powder (for heat)

  • 2 tbsp chopped rosemary/thyme (for herbiness)

  • 1 tbsp honey + 1 tsp harissa (for sweet-heat)


Instructions

  • Mix the Magic
    Whisk all ingredients in a bowl or shake in a mason jar until combined.

  • Marinate the Meat
    Place steak in a resealable bag or dish. Pour marinade over it, massage gently, seal, and refrigerate.

  • Time it Right
    Marinate 2–8 hours (overnight for thick cuts, 2 hours for flank/skirt). Don’t exceed 24 hrs.

  • Prep to Cook
    Bring steak to room temp for 30 mins. Pat dry before cooking to ensure a great crust.

  • Grill & Rest
    Cook to desired doneness, let rest 5–10 mins, then slice against the grain.

Notes

  • For extra sauce: Reserve ¼ cup marinade before adding meat. Boil it before serving.

  • Use tamari or coconut aminos for gluten-free or lower sodium versions.

  • Freeze steak + marinade together for easy future meals.
