Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice.

Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.

Step 6

Refrigerate the steak and let it marinate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor. Flip the steak halfway through the marinating time to ensure even coverage.
