Ingredients

• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 pounds steak cuts (e.g., ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), and freshly squeezed lemon juice until well combined.

Step 2

Place the steak cuts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring the meat is fully coated.

Step 4

Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap, then place in the refrigerator.

Step 5

Allow the steak to marinate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor. Flip the steak halfway through marinating to ensure even coating.

Step 6

Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.

Step 7

Discard the used marinade, then grill, pan-sear, or broil the steaks to your desired doneness. Remember to let the cooked steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving to retain juiciness.
