My husband won't eat a steak unless I have marinated it with this marinade I came up with. I am a cook who doesn't measure. My kids requested that I start measuring their favorite recipes so that they can recreate the same tastes from mom's cooking when I leave this mortal world. I managed to write it down for them. It will take even a very cheap cut of steak and make it mouth-watering. Just leave it in the marinade longer.

    balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp

How To Make steak marinade

  • 1
    Mix the ingredients with a whisk until thickened or emulsified.
  • 2
    Place the steaks in a resealable plastic bag or casserole dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks. If you are using a good rib eye or New York strip, a couple of hours is sufficient. If you are using a leaner, less expensive cut, marinade overnight for a tender juicy steak. While the steaks are marinating, flip them a few times or massage them if they are in a baggie.

    When you are ready to cook, pull the steaks out of the marinade and place them on a hot grill. Rub them around in the marinade before cooking. Don't scrape off the marinade. That's it! It's also great for a roast.
