Savory Steak Marinade
When it comes to preparing a great steak, a good marinade can make all the difference. This simple, yet flavorful marinade combines umami richness of soy sauce with a blend of herbs, garlic, and a touch of spice. Perfect for any cut of steak, this marinade tenderizes while infusing each bite with savory, bold flavors. Let the steak soak for a few hours or overnight to ensure it's juicy and packed with flavor when it hits the grill or pan.

Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it’s fully coated. Remove as much air from the bag as possible before sealing.
Marinate the steak in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, up to overnight. Turn the steak halfway through to ensure even absorption of the marinade.
Let the steak sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before cooking.
