The Best Steak Marinade

This simple marinade for steaks adds a ton of flavor and makes the meat extra soft. As a result, you can have a steak of steakhouse quality without paying a significant amount.

Try it on a flank, skirt, strip, or sirloin steak! Before placing them on the grill, hamburger patties can even receive a few dashes of seasoning!

Notes:

• Use a steak marinade on those tougher, more affordable types of beef.

• To guarantee it reaches 165°F, discard the leftover marinade or boil it for a few minutes at a rolling boil.
  
• When it’s time to marinate a steak, freeze the marinade in ice cube trays so you may pop out as little or as much as you like while keeping the marinade fresh.
