Description

A flavorful marinade perfect for grilling your favorite steaks.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 large lemons
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tablespoons dried basil
  • 11/2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 11/2 tablespoons dried parsley
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • Coarse salt (optional)
  • Steaks (of your choice)
  • Canola oil (for grill grates)

Instructions

  1. Zest and juice lemons to get 1/2 teaspoon zest and 1/4 cup juice.
  2. In a medium bowl, add olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, dried basil, garlic powder, dried parsley, dried oregano, and white pepper.
  3. Whisk until ingredients are combined and incorporated.
  4. Pour mixture over steaks of your choice (the pictures show a NY Strip Steak; read the post for the “best grilling steaks”).
  5. Cover (or seal the bag) and place in fridge for up to 6 hours (too much longer than that and the acidity starts to “cook” the meat).
  6. About 20 minutes before grilling, remove steaks.
  7. The grill time will greatly vary based on your grill, your steak thickness, and the actual temperature of your grill. For best results, use a meat thermometer and remove meat when it is 5 degrees below your desired internal temperature. (It will cook a bit more after being removed.)
  8. Once steaks are cooked to your desired doneness, remove to a plate or cutting board and tent loosely with foil for 5–10 minutes to give the juices a chance to redistribute.
  9. Enjoy!
