Ingredients
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon dried basil

- Place steaks in a shallow dish or bag and pour marinade over them, coating all sides. Seal or cover and refrigerate.
- Marinate tender cuts (like sirloin or ribeye) for 1–4 hours; tougher cuts (like flank or skirt steak) for up to 8 hours.
- Remove steak from marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
- Grill, broil, or pan-sear steak to desired doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Notes
Do not reuse marinade once it’s touched raw meat unless boiled.Patting steaks dry before cooking ensures better sear and flavor.Use low-sodium soy sauce if monitoring salt intake.This marinade also works for chicken or lamb (adjust marinating time).Add brown sugar or honey for a touch of sweetness if desired.
