This is a good marinade that I often use for my steaks. Very delicious and flavourful. Let the steak marinate for at least a couple of hours in the fridge but no more than 14 hours.

Prep Time1 hrTotal Time1 hr

⅓ cup olive oil

⅓ cup soy sauce

⅓ cup lemon juice

2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

2 tsp garlic powder

½ tsp onion powder

1 tbsp dried basil

1 tsp black pepper

few dashes of your favourite hot sauce, optional

Combine all of the marinade ingredients together. Place in a large Ziplock bag, add your steaks of choice, squeeze out as much air as possible, seal the bag and allow to marinade, refrigerated, for 2-10 hours. Turn the bag with steaks over once in a while and massage the steaks if desired.

This could also be done in a container, but airtight Ziplock bag will infuse the steaks with the marinade better.

Preheat the grill. While the grill is preheating, dry your steaks with paper towels - this will help to get a nice sear on the steaks; if not dried - you will end up steaming the surface. Discard the marinade and the Ziplock bag. Grill your steaks and enjoy.

Notes:

Switch it up! How about balsamic vinegar instead of lemon juice? Minced garlic and finely diced onions will be a nice variation (feel free to decrease garlic/onion powder, if using fresh.) I've also added 1/4 cup Ginger Ale. Add other things like fresh ginger. A tablespoon or so of brown sugar (careful, extra sugar may cause more browning/more flare ups.) Some Dijon... Limitless possibilities!
