Ingredients
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce (substitute with more soy sauce if needed)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Marinade
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic, parsley, black pepper, and onion powder until well blended.
2. Marinate the Steak
Place your steaks in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, making sure they are fully coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but overnight works best for maximum flavor.
3. Cook to Perfection
Remove the steaks from the marinade and cook on a hot grill or skillet until your desired doneness. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing to keep juices locked in.
