• 0.25 cups olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, and balsamic vinegar. Whisk together until well blended.

Step 2

Add the brown sugar and stir until it is completely dissolved in the liquid mixture.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, ground black pepper, paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), and chopped rosemary.

Finally, mix in the lemon juice and whisk all the ingredients together to combine into a smooth marinade.

Step 5

Place your steaks or burger patties in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.

Step 6

Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring that all pieces are evenly coated. Massage the bag or turn the meat in the dish to immerse it fully in the marinade.

Step 7

Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. For best results, marinate for 4–6 hours. Avoid marinating longer than 12 hours to prevent the meat from becoming mushy.
