Equipment

  • Ziploc Bag
  • Hot Grill / Pan

Ingredients

  • 4 Steaks (whatever cut you prefer)
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon Mustard
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place steaks in a container or large Ziploc bag.  In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, mustard, garlic and salt and pepper.  Pour marinade over steak and let sit in the fridge for at least 4 hours (overnight is best).  Preheat your grill or pan to medium-high heat.  After ten minutes, place steaks on hot grill or pan.  Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach desired wellness.

Notes

How to cook the perfect steak:
  • 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.
