Ingredients

Scale

Marinade Ingredients

  • 6 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1 tsp dried whole thyme
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • ⅓ cup lime juice
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Main Ingredient

  • Steaks of your choice (6 servings)


Instructions

  1. Prepare Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine finely minced garlic, dried thyme, cayenne pepper, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, vegetable oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
  2. Marinate Steaks: Place your steaks inside a gallon-sized ziplock bag and pour the marinade over the meat. Seal the bag securely and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate and tenderize the steaks.
  3. Bring to Room Temperature: Remove the marinated steaks from the refrigerator about one hour before grilling. This step ensures even cooking and better texture when grilled.
  4. Grill Steaks: Grill the steaks over your preferred heat level until desired doneness is reached. Remove from grill and let rest before serving to allow juices to redistribute.

Notes

  • Adjust cayenne pepper quantity according to your spice preference.
  • Marinate steaks for at least 2 hours but no more than 4 hours to avoid overpowering the meat’s natural flavor.
  • Bringing steaks to room temperature before grilling helps achieve even cooking.
  • This marinade pairs well with various cuts of steak such as ribeye, sirloin, or New York strip.
  • For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of brown sugar or honey to the marinade.
