Description
A flavorful marinade for steaks that enhances the taste and tenderness.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 2 large lemons
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tablespoons dried basil
- 1–1/2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1–1/2 tablespoons dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
- Coarse salt (optional)
- Steaks (of your choice)
- Canola oil (for grill grates)
Instructions
- Zest and juice lemons to get 1/2 teaspoon zest and 1/4 cup juice.
- In a medium bowl, add olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, dried basil, garlic powder, dried parsley, dried oregano, and white pepper.
- Whisk until ingredients are combined and incorporated.
- Pour mixture over steaks of your choice (the pictures show a NY Strip Steak; read the post for the “best grilling steaks”).
- Cover (or seal the bag) and place in fridge for up to 6 hours (too much longer than that and the acidity starts to “cook” the meat).
- About 20 minutes before grilling, remove steaks.
- The grill time will greatly vary based on your grill, your steak thickness, and the actual temperature of your grill.
- For best results, use a meat thermometer and remove meat when it is 5 degrees below your desired internal temperature. (It will cook a bit more after being removed.)
- Once steaks are cooked to your desired doneness, remove to a plate or cutting board and tent loosely with foil 5–10 minutes to give the juices a chance to redistribute (juicier steaks!).
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Note: The grill time will vary based on your grill and steak thickness.
- Ensure to use a meat thermometer for best results.
