Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Soy sauce | 1/2 cup |
| Olive oil | 1/4 cup |
| Red wine vinegar | 1/4 cup |
| Worcestershire sauce | 2 tablespoons |
| Dijon mustard | 2 tablespoons |
| Brown sugar | 2 tablespoons |
| Garlic, minced | 4 cloves |
| Black pepper | 1 teaspoon |
| Onion powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Dried oregano | 1 teaspoon |
| Crushed red pepper flakes (optional) | 1/2 teaspoon |
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth. Add the garlic, black pepper, onion powder, oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes if you want a little extra heat. Place your steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, then pour the marinade over it, making sure every part of the meat is coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or let it sit for up to 24 hours if you want maximum flavor. Preheat your grill to medium-high. Remove the steak from the marinade, discard the remaining liquid, and grill for 4–6 minutes per side for medium-rare or adjust to your preferred doneness. Allow the steak to rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing so the juices stay in the meat.
Notes
If you like a bit more sweetness, add an extra spoonful of brown sugar or a touch of honey. Fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme can also elevate the aroma and depth of flavor.
