Best Steak Marinade in Existence

🧄 Ingredients:
1/3 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup olive oil

1/3 cup lemon juice (fresh is best)

1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon garlic, minced

2 tablespoons dried basil

1 tablespoon parsley flakes

1 teaspoon ground white pepper

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1 tablespoon brown sugar (for a subtle caramelized edge)

🔪 Instructions:
Combine ingredients in a medium mixing bowl or large zip-top bag. Stir or shake until fully blended.

Add steak to the marinade, ensuring it’s fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl tightly.

Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours — overnight is ideal for maximum flavor and tenderness.

Grill or pan-sear the steak to your desired doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

🔥 Pro Tips:
Best cuts for this marinade: Ribeye, flank, skirt, sirloin, or New York strip.

Don’t skip the resting time. It allows juices to redistribute and keeps your steak moist.

Make ahead: The marinade can be made in batches and stored in the fridge for up to 1 week.

🍷 What to Serve With It
Pair your perfectly marinated steak with grilled asparagus, garlic mashed potatoes, a crisp garden salad, or roasted vegetables. Add a bold red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon, and you’ve got a five-star meal at home.
