Craig's Steak Marinade image

While I was working at a pasta place as a cook, we often made steaks for ourselves for dinner. This marinade came about from playing with the ingredients that we had on hand. This will make even a cheap steak very tender. For the red wine, use what you are going to eat with the steaks - This is not the time for your bottle under the kitchen sink! When this has done its job tenderizing your steaks, this marinade does double duty as one if the best steak sauces out there. Prep time does not include marinating time.

This marinade is a great way to add flavor to steak without overpowering the natural taste of the meat.

This marinade is perfect for grilled steak. I can't wait to try it on other cuts of meat.

I used this marinade on chicken breasts, and they turned out amazing! I'll definitely be trying it on steak next time.

I added a few tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce to the marinade for extra flavor. It was delicious!

I'm not a huge fan of garlic, so I omitted it from the marinade. The steak still turned out great!

This marinade is a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less soy sauce next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my steak didn't turn out as tender as I hoped. I think I might have overcooked it.

I made this marinade for a party last weekend, and it was a huge hit! Everyone raved about how delicious the steak was. I'll definitely be making this again.

This marinade is a game-changer! I've tried so many different steak marinades, but this one is by far the best. The flavors are incredible, and it makes the steak so tender and juicy. I'll never use another marinade again.
