Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup canola oil, plus more for the grill
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
Few dashes of Worcestershire sauce

  • Place the steak in a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak and marinate in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes or overnight.
