Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice. Whisk together until incorporated.

Add the Dijon mustard and honey to the mixture, whisking again to fully blend the ingredients into a smooth marinade.

Place your steaks (up to four 8-ounce cuts) into a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.

Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring each piece is fully coated.

Step 6

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably up to 24 hours for maximum flavor infusion.

Remove the steaks from the marinade, pat them dry with paper towels, and cook using your preferred method (grill, pan-sear, or broil) to the desired doneness.
