When used overnight, the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic make flank, skirt and sirloin steaks flavorful and, most importantly, tender for the grill!

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful cut of steak, such as ribeye, strip loin, or tenderloin.
  • Tenderize the steak before marinating by pounding it with a meat mallet or using a fork to poke holes in it.
  • The marinade should contain an acidic ingredient, such as lemon juice, vinegar, or yogurt, to help break down the proteins in the steak and make it more tender.
  • Add flavorful ingredients to the marinade, such as herbs, spices, garlic, onion, or citrus zest.
  • Let the steak marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, in the refrigerator.
  • When grilling the steak, cook it over medium-high heat until it reaches your desired doneness.
  • Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

By following these tips, you can create a delicious and flavorful grilled steak that will be the star of any meal. Experiment with different marinades and cooking methods to find the perfect combination for your taste.
