Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 0.33 cup Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 4 pieces Steaks (such as ribeye, sirloin, or NY strip)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), and fresh rosemary.

Step 2

Place the steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 3

Seal the bag tightly or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and let the steaks marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 4

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). Remove the steaks from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and discard the used marinade.

Step 5

Place the steaks on the hot grill and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (use a meat thermometer to check: 130-135°F for medium-rare, 140-145°F for medium, 150°F+ for well-done).

Step 6

Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a plate and let them rest for 5-10 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 7

Serve the grilled steaks with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
