What better weekend than the 4th of July to share a grilling recipe? Andrew actually discovered this recipe on one of our favorite cooking websites (allrecipes), which we both consider to be the perfect blend of flavors to create a delicious steak marinade. The best part of the recipe is that it uses ingredients that you likely already have in your kitchen. The only exception for us was a dijon mustard, but since we bought it for this marinade, we have used it in other recipes, too (such as potato salad). This marinade is so tasty that you can buy even an inexpensive cut of meat (like a london broil) and it will bring your steak to life!
Ingredients:
1/8 cup olive oil
1/8 cup balsamic vinegar
1/8 cup soy sauce (reduced-sodium)
1/8 cup Worchestershire sauce
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste
*Above amounts are good for 1-2 steaks totaling about 1.5 lbs. I would double the recipe if cooking 3-4 steaks or for a larger crowd.
1. Mix all ingredients in a large ziploc bag. Add steak(s) and marinate for at least 2 hours in the refridgerator before grilling. Serve with corn on the cob (also from the grill) and a fresh summer salad. Enjoy!
