Ingredients

  • 2 pounds steak (such as ribeye, sirloin, or strip steak)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, dried rosemary, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Place the steak in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it, ensuring that the steak is completely coated. If using a dish, cover with plastic wrap. If using a bag, seal it tightly.
  3. Marinate the steak in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor. Flip the steak halfway through marinating to ensure even distribution of the marinade.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
  5. Grill the steak for approximately 4-6 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. For a medium-rare steak, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C). Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
  6. Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. This will help ensure a juicy and tender steak.
  7. Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips and serve immediately. Enjoy the flavorful and delicious marinated grilled steak with your favorite sides.
