Ingredients

• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 pounds steaks (e.g., ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey until well combined.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic, rosemary, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

Place the steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are completely coated.

Step 4

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight for maximum flavor absorption.

Step 5

When ready to cook, remove the steaks from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Allow the steaks to sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before cooking.

Step 6

Cook the steaks to your desired level of doneness using your preferred method (grilling, pan-searing, or broiling). Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 7

Serve and enjoy your perfectly flavored steak, enhanced by this delicious homemade marinade!
