Best Steak Marinade
Best Steak Marinade - this steak marinade recipe is packed with flavor and is great for grilled steaks! So easy and delicious!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup soy sauce sub tamari for gluten-free
- ¼ cup olive oil sub avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
Instructions
- Combine: In a small bowl, add ¼ cup ketchup, ¼ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons garlic, 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves, 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves, and 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves. Whisk to combine.
- Marinate: Place steaks in a large silicone bag or glass container. Pour marinade over top and ensure steaks are fully coated. Let steaks marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes or overnight.
- Cook: We love perfectly grilled steaks after marinating!
Notes
- Poking holes in steak: before you marinate your steak feel free to poke some holes it it on both sides using a fork. This helps the marinade penetrate the steak while marinating.
- Before Grilling: Wipe off excess marinade before grilling (especially over direct heat) as it will most likely cause flare-ups. Some flare-ups are fine (and we all like a little char!), but we recommend having a spray bottle of water on hand to help calm the flames in case of flare-ups. You can also move your steak over to indirect heat after the initial sear if you have having lots of issues. See: How to Grill the Perfect Steak for more info!
- Freezing: You can definitely freeze your steak in the marinade if you want to prep beforehand. Simply place steak + marinade in a freezer-safe silicone bag. Ensure steak is coated in the marinade and then push out as much air as possible while sealing the bag. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. To thaw, simply place in the refrigerator overnight.
- Paleo/Whole30: to make Paleo/Whole30 simply use a compliant ketchup and use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
- Yield: makes approx. 3/4 cup.
