The Best Steak Marinade

There is nothing better than a perfectly cooked steak. Especially if that steak is deliciously seasoned or marinated beforehand to bring out all of the juicy flavors of the steak.

We love this easy steak marinade because it is made with simple ingredients, but adds big flavor. This marinade is. a combination of sugar, salt, and a little citrus that leaves you with tender, flavorful, and juicy steak.

So, whip up this steak marinade and serve your juicy steaks next our grilled potatoes or slice up your steaks and serve it in our famous steak salad recipe!

Why marinate your steak?

Tenderize: marinating your steaks in ctirus and/or a vinegar-based product will help tenderize the meat.

Add flavor: this marinade will infuse your beef with tons of juicy flavors, complimenting the steak’s natural flavors.

Ingredients You Need

What ingredients go in steak marinade? There are some basic ingredients that are usually the base of steak marinade and we have added our own twist, too! Here is everything you need.

  • Worcestershire sauce– many steak marinades have Worcestershire in them because it is a vinegar-based sauce that has ingredients like anchovies, garlic, tamarind, and other ingredients that make a salty sauce that goes perfectly with steak.
  • Balsamic vinegar– a little sugar to balance out the saltiness of this marinade comes from the balsamic vinegar.
  • Minced garlic– adding fresh garlic to any marinade adds so much flavor. We don’t recommend subbing garlic powder.
  • Olive oil– the olive oil binds all of the steak marinade ingredients together.
  • Lemon juice– a bit of lemon juice lightens up this marinade and aids in tenderizing the steak before you cook it.
  • Lemon pepper– adding some lemon pepper to this marinade brings out the lemon flavor in the marinade.

How long should steaks marinate?

You can marinate steak for either 30 minutes to overnight. The longer you marinate steak the more tender your steak will be. Unlike salmon, you can marinate steak for a bit longer without lemon juice cooking the steak.

Sous vide steak is the ONLY way to eat steak. We are obsessed with the perfectly cooked goodness of sous vide steak. It’s as easy as 1-2-3.

Grilled Steak

  • Add our Grilled Flank Steak to the menu this summer! You can serve this flank steak by itself, in tacos, or even in fajitas!

Pan-Seared

If you don’t have a grill, you can easily use a cast-iron skillet or grill pan to sear your steak on high heat and then bake it until it reaches a safe eating temp.

Steak Internal Temp

Everyone is different when it comes to how they like their steak. We are big fans of a medium-rare steak, but check the internal temperature of your steak when it’s almost done.

Rare: 130ºF

Medium Rare: 140ºF

Medium: 155ºF

Well Done: 165ºF

Remember, as your steak rests after it’s done cooking, the internal temperature will continue to raise around 5ºF.
