Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, and honey. Whisk until the liquids are well blended.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) to the liquid mixture. Continue whisking to incorporate the spices evenly.

Step 3

Fold in the chopped fresh rosemary to add a fragrant herbal note to the marinade.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, then refrigerate. Allow the steaks to marinate for at least 2 hours, but ideally overnight, for optimal flavor and tenderness.

Step 6

Before cooking the steak, remove it from the marinade and let it rest at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Cook the steak to your desired doneness using your preferred method—grilling, pan-searing, or broiling—and enjoy the bold, complex flavors of your Terrific Steak Marinade.
