Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.

- To cook, preheat the grill to 450–500°F. Allow steaks to come to room temperature.
- Place steaks on the grill and cook until golden brown and slightly charred (4–5 minutes). Flip steaks over and continue to grill to the desired doneness (5–7 minutes for medium).
- Let meat rest for 5 minutes before serving. The steak will continue to cook a bit and the juices will distribute.

Notes
- Freeze in the marinade. Freezing it in the marinade can help infuse the flavors further into the meat as it thaws. Place the marinade and steak in a freezer bag to prevent freezer burn. Thaw the steak in the refrigerator before grilling.
- STORE. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or in the freezer for 2-3 months.
- To reheat. A quick and easy way to reheat the steak is to use a cast iron skillet and reheat it on the stovetop or in the oven. Cover with a lid or foil to prevent moisture loss.Stovetop. Preheat a skillet over medium heat, add a small amount of oil or butter, place the leftover steak in the skillet, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Oven. Preheat your oven to a low temperature, around 250°F (120°C). Place the leftover steak on a baking sheet or in an oven-safe dish and cover it loosely with foil to prevent drying out. Heat the steak in the oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of warmth.
