BALSAMIC STEAK MARINADE

Makes enough marinade for about 1 pound of steak. The smoked paprika adds the smokiness that is missing when you cook indoors. As is, marinade provides a light smoke. Double the smoked paprika if you want it smokier. Double entire recipe for each additional pound of beef you want to marinate.

Tips:

  • When choosing a steak for this marinade, opt for a tender cut like Ribeye, Strip, or Tenderloin.
  • Slicing the steak against the grain can help make it more tender while marinating.
  • Marinating the steak for at least 30 minutes is recommended, but longer marinating times can result in more intense flavors.
  • If you don't have time to marinate the steak, you can still enjoy the flavors of the marinade by brushing it on the steak before cooking.
  • Use a hot grill or pan to sear the steak quickly, creating a flavorful crust while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Allow the steak to rest for a few minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
