Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 pounds steak (such as ribeye, sirloin, or New York strip)

Directions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  2. Place the steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill to high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
  4. Grill the steak for about 4-6 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches the desired internal temperature.
  5. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
  6. Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Serve hot and enjoy!
