Basil and Garlic Steak Marinade
Description
The marinade combines salty soy sauce, acidic fresh lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce with its umami depth, and olive oil as a carrier with dried basil, minced garlic, dried parsley flakes, and black pepper for herbal and savory accents. Steaks are sealed in a bag with this mixture and marinated for at least two hours, preferably overnight for stronger flavor penetration.
After marination, the steaks are grilled or griddled to the desired level of doneness. A resting period helps retain juices and ensures tender slices.
The herbal components alongside the lemon and soy balance the meat's natural flavors without overpowering, making this marinade suitable for various steak cuts and grilling occasions.
The original notes indicate that dried herbs are preferable but not essential.
