Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 ribeye steaks, 8 oz each (225 g each) or substitute sirloin, strip, or flank steak
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Lay out all marinade ingredients. Mince garlic and chop fresh herbs. Let steaks sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, rosemary, thyme, black pepper, and sea salt. Add smoked paprika or brown sugar if using. Whisk until glossy and combined.
  3. Place steaks in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over, coating both sides. Seal or cover and refrigerate for 1–4 hours, flipping halfway if possible.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high (400°F) or heat a cast iron skillet until just smoking. Lightly oil grates or skillet.
  5. Remove steaks from marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill or sear 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, 4–5 minutes for medium. Use tongs to flip.
  6. Transfer steaks to a plate, tent with foil, and rest 5–7 minutes. Slice against the grain and serve hot. Optionally drizzle with fresh (unused) marinade.

Notes

Do not marinate steaks longer than 4 hours to avoid mushy texture. Pat steaks dry before cooking for best sear. Let steaks rest after cooking for juiciness. Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness. Marinade can be prepped ahead and stored for up to 3 days. For gluten-free, check Worcestershire sauce label.
