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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
