The Best Easy Steak Marinade image

It's easy to make THE BEST sirloin steak marinade with just a few simple ingredients. Quickly whisk the marinade ingredients together, marinate the steak, then toss it on the grill for the best flavor!

Provided by Whitney Bond

Categories     Main Course

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (click link for homemade recipe)
1 teaspoon dried mustard
2 pounds top sirloin steaks

Steps:

  • Combine the balsamic vinegar, low-sodium soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, honey, Italian seasoning and dried mustard in a gallon size zipper bag or large bowl.
  • Add the steaks and marinade for 20 minutes, or up to 8 hours.
  • Heat a grill over medium high heat, between 350-400 degrees Fahrenheit. Wait until the grill is hot before adding the steaks, to give them perfect sear marks.
  • Remove the steaks from the marinade and discard the marinade. Add the steaks to a hot grill.
  • For a perfect medium rare steak, grill a 1 inch thick steak for 4-5 minutes per side. For a steak that is 1 1/2 inches thick, add 1-2 minutes to the cooking time per side.
  • Insert an instant read thermometer into the steak. Remove the steak once it reads 130°F for a medium rare steak. For a medium steak, wait until it reaches 140°F and for a medium well steak, wait until it reaches 150°F.
  • Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This ensures that the juices redistribute throughout the steak, leaving you with the most juicy steak possible!
  • Sprinkle coarse kosher salt or sea salt flakes over the steak and optionally garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Provided by SweetCravings

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes     Marinade Recipes

Time 5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
¼ cup soy sauce
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 pinch salt and pepper to taste

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of steak: For this marinade, flank steak, skirt steak, or hanger steak are good choices. These cuts are relatively thin and flavorful, and they benefit from the tenderizing effects of the marinade.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade in this recipe is packed with flavor, thanks to the combination of soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and herbs. Feel free to adjust the proportions of the ingredients to suit your taste.
  • Marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate the steak, the more flavor it will absorb. If you're short on time, you can marinate the steak for as little as 30 minutes, but for best results, marinate it for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Bring the steak to room temperature before cooking: This will help the steak cook evenly. Take the steak out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before you plan to cook it.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to sear the steak and lock in the juices. Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

This way-too-easy steak marinade is a great way to add flavor and tenderness to your favorite cuts of steak. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious steak that's perfect for any occasion. So next time you're looking for an easy and flavorful way to cook steak, give this marinade a try. You won't be disappointed!
