All Purpose Marinade Especially Nice Used with Beef

Transform your beef dishes into restaurant-worthy creations with this versatile All Purpose Marinade, a powerhouse of bold flavors perfect for enhancing steaks, roasts, or even grilled kebabs. Bursting with umami from soy sauce, a hint of sweetness from honey, and a subtle tang from balsamic vinegar, this marinade balances beautifully with aromatic fresh rosemary, thyme, and zesty minced garlic. The addition of Worcestershire sauce and olive oil creates a luscious base that tenderizes the meat while infusing it with mouthwatering depth. Customize the heat with a touch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick, or keep it classic with freshly cracked black pepper. Quick to prepare in just 10 minutes, this beef marinade is a must-have for elevating weeknight dinners or impressing guests at your next barbecue. Best results are achieved with at least 2 hours of marination, but let your beef soak for up to 8 hours for unparalleled flavor intensity!

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 3 medium Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, and balsamic vinegar. Whisk until well blended.

Step 2

Add the honey and continue whisking until fully dissolved into the liquid mixture.

Step 3

Incorporate the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme into the bowl, stirring to distribute the herbs evenly.

Step 4

Season the marinade with black pepper and, if desired, a pinch of red pepper flakes for a slight kick.

Step 5

Transfer the marinade to a resealable plastic bag or a glass container with a tight lid.

Step 6

Place your beef cuts (such as steaks or roasts) into the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged and well coated. Seal the bag/container tightly.

Step 7

Refrigerate the marinating beef for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor. Turn the beef occasionally to ensure even marination.

Step 8

Remove the beef from the marinade and discard the excess marinade before cooking as desired (grilling, broiling, or pan-searing).
