Time 5h

Yield Makes 4 steaks

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, pepper, salt, and a pinch of red pepper. Add steaks to a resealable zip lock bag or large bowl and pour the marinade on top. Marinate for 2 hours or overnight.
  • Turn the skillet to high heat. Add the steaks. Cook on each side for 3 minutes or until outside is browned. Reduce heat to medium-high. Cook the steaks to the desired doneness. Mine took about 10 minutes flipping 3 times to get a medium well.
  • Top with butter and garnish with fresh parsley if desired

Tips:

  • To make a flavorful marinade, use a combination of acidic (such as lemon juice, vinegar, or yogurt), fatty (such as olive oil or avocado oil), and flavorful ingredients (such as herbs, spices, garlic, or onion).
  • The longer you marinate your steak, the more tender and flavorful it will be. However, most marinades will work their magic in just 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Be sure to cover your steak completely with the marinade. You can use a resealable plastic bag or a glass dish with a lid.
  • If you're short on time, you can marinate your steak for just 15 minutes. However, the longer you marinate it, the better the results will be.
  • When you're ready to cook your steak, remove it from the marinade and pat it dry. This will help the steak to sear properly.
  • Cook your steak over high heat for a few minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  • Let your steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Marinating steak is a great way to add flavor and tenderness to your favorite cut of beef. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a delicious and memorable meal that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to cook steak, try one of the recipes in this article. You won't be disappointed!
