Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, crushed garlic, honey, brown sugar, and onion powder. (Prep time: ~5 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

Whisk vigorously until the brown sugar and honey are completely dissolved, creating a smooth, emulsified marinade. (Whisking time: ~3 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Place your steak in a resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it's fully coated. (Prep time: ~2 minutes)

04

Step
4 hrs

Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor penetration. (Marinating time: 30 minutes - 4 hours)

05

Step
2 mins

Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the used marinade. Pat the steak dry with paper towels before cooking to promote a beautiful sear. (Prep time: ~2 minutes)

06

Step

Cook the steak to your desired level of doneness using your preferred method: grilling, pan-searing, or broiling. Enjoy! (Cooking time: Varies based on method and desired doneness)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick.
Adjust the amount of honey and brown sugar to suit your sweetness preference.
Marinating for longer than 4 hours may result in a steak that's too salty.
Ensure the garlic is finely minced to avoid overpowering the other flavors.
Experiment with adding a splash of balsamic vinegar for a tangy twist.
For best results, use a high-quality steak with good marbling.
