Ingredients
- 0.5 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, fresh lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and honey. Whisk until the ingredients are well blended.
Step 2
Stir in the minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of all ingredients.
Step 3
Place your beef cuts (such as steak, flank steak, or sirloin) in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
Step 4
Pour the marinade over the beef, ensuring all sides are coated evenly. If using a dish, cover it tightly with plastic wrap.
Step 5
Refrigerate the marinating beef for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully infuse.
Step 6
When ready to cook, remove the beef from the marinade and discard the excess liquid. Pat the beef with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture before cooking.
Step 7
Grill, roast, or pan-sear the beef to your desired level of doneness. Serve immediately and enjoy!
