Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 3 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, honey, and Dijon mustard. Whisk well until the ingredients are fully blended.

Step 2

Add minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the mixture. Stir thoroughly to mix the spices evenly.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Seal the bag (if using) or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Place the steaks in the refrigerator and let them marinate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours for more intense flavor.

Step 5

Before cooking, remove the steaks from the marinade and let them rest at room temperature for 15–20 minutes.

Step 6

Discard the used marinade and cook your steaks to your desired level of doneness, either on the grill, stovetop, or broiler.
