Steak Marinade
Description
The steak marinade recipe balances salty, tangy, and herby elements through its blend of soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning, accented by black pepper, salt, and onion powder. Marinating for at least one hour allows the acidic components to tenderize the meat and the aromatics to infuse flavor. Up to 24 hours is suitable for deeper impact.
The marinade quantity is designed for about two pounds of steak, evenly coating the meat for thorough flavor absorption. After marinating, the steak can be cooked by grilling, pan-searing, or other preferences, benefiting from enhanced juiciness and seasoning from this mixture.
Additional practical tips include storing the marinade in the refrigerator for up to five days and freezing it up to two months. Adjusting the soy sauce to a low-sodium variety can control salt levels. For an added finishing touch, an herb butter with garlic and fresh herbs complements the steak once cooked.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions

- Add steaks to the marinade. Marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.

Notes
- Marinate steaks between 1 hour and 24 hours for best flavor and tenderness.
- The marinade can be refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
- Use low sodium soy sauce to reduce salt if desired.
- Top cooked steaks with a simple herb butter made from softened butter, fresh herbs, and garlic for extra richness.
