This easy and flavorful marinade makes any cut of steak tender, juicy, and bursting with savory goodness. Perfect for grilling, pan-searing, or broiling!


Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • ¼ cup soy sauce

  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tsp black pepper

  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

  • Don’t reuse marinade for food safety—discard or boil it first if you want to make a sauce.

  • Add fresh lemon juice or chopped fresh herbs for extra brightness.
