Ingredients

• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 4 steaks steak cuts (e.g., ribeye, sirloin, or flank)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl or a resealable plastic bag, combine soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk to blend the marinade ingredients thoroughly.

Step 2

Add the steaks to the marinade. Ensure each steak is evenly coated by turning it over several times. If using a resealable plastic bag, seal it tightly and massage the bag gently to distribute the marinade equally.

Step 3

For best results, refrigerate the marinating steaks for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours if time allows. If camping and refrigeration isn't available, marinate in a cooler with ice, ensuring the steaks are kept cold.

Step 4

When ready to cook, remove the steaks from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Allow the steaks to rest at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before grilling to ensure even cooking.

Step 5

Heat your grill or campfire to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the steaks on the grill grates or a cast-iron skillet over the fire.

Step 6

Grill the steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your preferred level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium, or 150°F (66°C) for well done.

Step 7

Let the cooked steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Serve your flavorful camping steaks with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, baked potatoes, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
