3 Ingredient Steak Marinade
Description
The 3 Ingredient Steak Marinade consists of a neutral cooking oil, soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar, making it a versatile option for marinating 2-3 pounds of steak. This marinade is mixed and poured over the steak, which is then refrigerated overnight to absorb the flavors. When ready to cook, the steak is seasoned further with salt and pepper, which helps to balance and accentuate the marinade's taste. Resting the steak after cooking allows the juices to redistribute for a more tender bite.
The combination of oil, soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar delivers a blend of richness, umami, and mild acidity, enhancing the meat's natural flavor without overpowering it. This approach suits steaks cooked by grilling, pan-searing, or broiling.
Before cooking, removing the marinated steak from the fridge and seasoning it properly is essential. After cooking, resting the steak for around five minutes helps maintain juiciness and tenderness, making it more enjoyable to eat.
