- Mix Marinade Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is well blended. Taste the marinade and adjust any of the ingredients according to your preference. If you like it a bit spicier, feel free to add more hot pepper sauce.
- Marinate the Steak: Place your steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, making sure it’s completely covered. If using a bag, seal it and gently massage the marinade into the meat to ensure every part is coated.
- Refrigerate: Allow the steak to marinate in the refrigerator. For best results, marinate for at least 2 hours, but for a more profound flavor, leave it overnight. The longer it marinates, the more flavorful and tender the steak will be.
- Grill Your Steak: Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade. Preheat your grill to high heat and grill the steak to your preferred level of doneness. Let the steak rest for a few minutes after grilling before slicing to keep it juicy.
- Serve: Serve your perfectly grilled steak with sides of your choice. It pairs wonderfully with a fresh salad, roasted vegetables, or a creamy mashed potato.
Tips:
- Meat Selection: This marinade works great with various cuts of steak, but ribeye, sirloin, and flank steak particularly benefit from its flavors and tenderizing properties.
- Marinating Time: While a minimum of 2 hours is recommended, marinating overnight will significantly enhance the flavor and tenderness of the steak.
- Grilling Tips: For an added touch of flavor, consider throwing some fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme directly onto the coals or gas burner while grilling.
