Instructions

2. Pat the steak dry with paper towels and place it in a large zip top bag or shallow dish.
3. Pour the marinade over the steak and turn to coat all sides well.
4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor.
5. Remove the steak from the refrigerator 20 to 30 minutes before cooking.
6. Heat a grill or cast iron skillet over medium high to high heat.
7. Remove the steak from the marinade and let the excess drip off.
8. Cook the steak to your preferred doneness, flipping once for an even sear.
9. Let the steak rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
10. Slice against the grain and serve warm.
Notes
Use thicker cuts like sirloin, ribeye, or strip steak for the best flavor and texture.
Do not marinate too long for delicate cuts, or the texture can become too soft.
For extra richness, top the cooked steak with a little butter before serving.
