This is a quick-and-easy marinade recipe for steaks.
It is totally fine to leave the steaks in your marinade for longer than 2 hours. I would generally not marinate them any longer than 1 day.
The marinade also tenderizes the steak. Any marinade with acid (tomato, vinegar, citrus juices, pineapple juice, etc.) will tenderize. I leave my meat in marinade over night or all day, but no longer. If you leave it too long the meat texture changes and gets "mushy". And don't try to save calories by omitting the oil. Your meat will turn out dry. I don't have an outdoor grill, so I grill in my G Foreman grill. For room temperature meat and 1" thick meat, I cook for 6 minutes on preheated grill. Perfect medium rare, tender & juicy!

This was a marinade that became better as the meal progressed. We love the flavor of a good steak and rarely add more than salt and pepper. At first, I was put off a bit by the slightly sweet flavor of the balsamic vinegar. When I was on my last bite, I was thinking, this is a great flavor. For the outside grill, though, 1/3 cup of olive oil made the grill flare up, and the steaks were well marbled, so I would not use that amount of olive oil again. DS is not a mustard fan, so I cut back on the mustard a bit, and I totally forgot to add the liquid smoke (didn't miss it, due to the outside grill). Other than that, it was a nice change from our usual steak dinner. Thanks for the idea!
If you have had problems with getting steaks tender, look no further with this recipe. This recipe is easy and it was a great hit for Father's Day. I grilled boneless ribeye steaks yum yum.
I tried this recipe on New York Strip steaks...but I found it under "The Best Steak Marinade Recipe"!! Same ingredients, same measurements!! Steaks were tender and tasty!
Did this recipes on sirloin steak. Meat came out so juice and delicious that my friends still raving about three days later .
We lucked up some porter houses in the markdown bin. I was ready to try something new and hit on this marinade. OMG! It's wonderful! Didn't have Worcestershire so I used Lea and Perrins. Used some roasted garlic. Six minutes each side over medium. You will really like this marinade on just about anything! GUMBO GAL
This was fantastic!!!! Next time I want to make little cuts into the steak I get so the flavor can soak through the whole of the meat. DEFINITELY worth a try!
This was delicious on tri-tip steaks. Only marinated about 40 minutes because it was a last minute idea and it tasted great. Didn't measure anything just guesstimated and it came out perfect. Will make this again and again.
This was great; marinating for 24 hours gives it the full flavor. Just a few simple ingredients and very tasty. This is be my new go-to steak marinade.
Made it with steak tips. Added a few splashes of hot sauce, a pinch of seasoned salt, and some herbs de garnie. Roasted them alongside some fresh peppers and onions and served over yellow rice. Best marinade ever! Thanks so much!
My family loved this! I marinated the steaks for about 6 hours then allowed the to come to room temperature before grilling them. I used NY Strip Steaks & cooked them 4 minutes per side then let them rest for 10 minutes. Perfect medium-rare! Except for using half of the soy sauce called for because I ran out, I followed the recipe as written using a few dashes of hickory liquid smoke. The liquid smoke I think is what gave the steaks that extra flavor! Definitely a keeper thank you for the recipe!
I tried this a few weeks ago when marinating cubed ribeye for skewers, and it was so good that I have already made it a second time. I was out of dijon, so substituted a generous squirt of plain old yellow mustard. This is a keeper!
I never change a recipe the first time. It doesn' t need adjusting but not everybody got the same taste buds.
Delicious! It's cooked well, it's juicy, and has a great tang to the steak that I haven't had before!
Great on our thick pork chops too ! Pan fried and used the pan drippings over chops at servings.
I don't eat meat but made this for my dad and son. They both loved it. My dad in particular kept raving about it and asked me to make it again. I followed the recipe with the exception that I didn't have Montreal seasoning so I used a general herb mix and instead of oil I used a little butter on each steak as I read that works well somewhere.
This recipe was so good on my rib-eye, that I used it on my pork chops too!!
I put together the ingredients as posted on the recipe. I marinated pork chops for 4 hours and they were great. Thanks for a great combination of flavors. I would not change anything.
This is such a good marinade! I went a bit lighter on the balsamic and Worcestershire sauce. Also used garlic powder since I didn't have garlic handy (less than fresh called for).
Delicious! Most marinades don't have enough flavor for me, but this was perfect.
I made this and my wife looked at me wide eyed and said, “this is the best steak I’ve ever tasted!” Ya I blushed up a little. Will use on a regular basis this grilling season.
Great recipe ... taste it as is ??.. add a little sweet.. a little hot.. this is a great marinade
So yummy! I used rice vinegar and left out the Dijon and it was awesome! I only had about 45 minutes for the meat to marinate and it was still juicy, tender and flavorful! This is one recipe I am saving!
Great marinade! I skipped the Montreal seasoning and added onion powder instead. Steaks turned out tender and with great flavor!
