Ingredients

• 1 cup Dry red wine
• 0.5 cup Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 medium Onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the dry red wine, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Whisk until the sugar dissolves completely.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute the seasonings.

Step 3

Mix in the sliced onion, ensuring it is evenly coated in the marinade.

Step 4

Transfer the marinade to a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish large enough to hold the beef. If using a dish, ensure the beef is fully submerged in the marinade.

Step 5

Add your beef cuts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag tightly or cover the dish with plastic wrap.

Step 6

Place the beef in the refrigerator to marinate for a minimum of 4 hours or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor. Turn the beef occasionally to ensure even absorption of the marinade.

Step 7

When ready to cook, remove the beef from the marinade and let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before cooking. Discard the used marinade.

Step 8

Proceed to cook the beef using your preferred method, such as grilling, roasting, or pan-searing.
