Ingredients

• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
• 2 pounds steak, any cut

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard until well combined.

Step 2

Stir in the minced garlic, black pepper, onion powder, rosemary, and thyme. Mix thoroughly to distribute all the flavors.

Step 3

Place the steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 4

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to maximize flavor.

Step 5

Before cooking, remove the steak from the marinade and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Step 6

Step 7

Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking to lock in the juices. Serve and enjoy!
