Ingredients

• 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 0.25 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 3 units garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, freshly squeezed orange juice, extra virgin olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Mix well to form the marinade base.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the marinade, stirring until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 3

Place the lean beef sirloin in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Refrigerate the beef in the marinade for at least 1 hour, turning it occasionally. For best results, marinate for up to 8 hours.

Step 6

Remove the beef from the refrigerator 15 minutes before cooking to allow it to reach room temperature.

Step 7

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Remove the beef from the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the marinade.

Step 9

Grill the beef for about 6 to 7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches the desired level of doneness. Aim for an internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare.

Step 10

Let the beef rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 11

Slice the beef thinly against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy mouth-watering, heart-healthy marinated beef as a main dish or in salads and wraps.
