Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar*
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce 
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a mixing bowl whisk together balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, olive oil, dijon mustard, honey, garlic, pepper and rosemary until well blended.
  2. Place steak in a gallon size resealable bag, place steak in gallon size resealable bag. Pour marinade over steaks, seal bag while pressing out excess air. Transfer to refrigerator and let marinate at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.
  3. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Remove steaks from marinade and grill to desired doneness*. Let rest off heat 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • *If you don't like much acidity balsamic vinegar can be reduced to 2 Tbsp.
  • **USDA recommends a minimum temperature of 145 degrees, temperature should be taken in center on an instant read thermometer.
  • I like to use New York strip steaks here, other great options are rib eye, top sirloin, flank or skirt steak.
