How to Make Our Tangy Marinated Steak

- In a small bowl, whisk marinade ingredients together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, mustard, garlic and salt and pepper.

Recipe Notes
With this quick steak marinade, you will be placing the raw meat right into the marinade before cooking it in the slightest. That being said, you will want to make sure you discard marinade that is left over in the bag. Without chancing that raw steak taste, you can always make up another bath of the steak marinade recipe, mix it with a little bit of cornstarch water slurry, and use it as a dipping sauce for extra flavor.
Perfectly Cooked Steak Tips
Cutting into steaks while cooking them, should be illegal. It makes the steak dry out, cooks the steak longer than you want, and releases all those juices that have been cooking up in the steak, tenderizing it.
I also cook all my steaks on medium low temperature. I am all about that low and slow method, to keep the juices inside, and cook it thoroughly, while keeping it tender and juicy.
- Rare: Seared on the outside, with a slight pinkish red color in the middle of the steak, meaning the edges looked cooked, but the center of the steak isn’t quite a full brown color. The internal temperature should also be about 125 degrees F.
- Medium Rare: Seared on the outside, with a slightly reddish pink middle. It should be a little firm to the touch in the middle. The internal temperature should also be around 135 degrees F.
- Medium: Cooked until slightly firm, and hardened outside, with no pink or red center. Takes about 3 minutes on each side to cook. The internal temperature should be around 145 degrees F.
- Medium Well: Internal temperature should be at about 150 degrees F. The edges should be slightly black, and the steak should be pretty firm to the touch. It shouldn’t squish or wiggle in the middle at all.
- Well: Crisp edges with an internal temperature of 160+ degrees F.

Did You Make This Recipe?We’d love to hear your thoughts! Leave a review or a question in the comment section below the post.
I made this earlier this week and my guys loved it so much I just made it again! it’s super delish and I think the vinegar really tenderizes the meat. Also, I take the left over marinade in the bag and boil it and use it for a little extra sauce if anybody wants it
I made this today for lunch after church and we loved it. I let it marinate overnight, and grilled it. It was so good!! I used a thin cut of meat, which made it great to slice up and use in tacos, salads, and nachos to help use up the leftovers.
I didn’t have all the ingredients, so I substituted garlic powder for the minced garlic and steak sauce for the Dijon mustard, and it still tasted great.
I made this the other day my mistakes came out perfectly. I enjoyed them so much that I am making them again tonight. Highly recommend.
