Ingredients
Marinade Ingredients
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Measure and prepare all the marinade ingredients. Ensure the garlic is finely minced and the lemon juice is freshly squeezed.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
- Pour the prepared marinade into a resealable bag or airtight container. This will be used for marinating the steak.
Marinating
- Place your steak in the container with the marinade, ensuring it is fully submerged. Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor infusion.
Grilling
- Preheat your grill to high heat, approximately 450°F to 500°F. Clean and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Remove steak from marinade and place on the hottest part of the grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time for preferred doneness.
- Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, enhancing flavor and tenderness.
Serving
- Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately. Pair with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
