Gordon Ramsay Style Steak Marinade

 

Ingredients:

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 tsp dried)

1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Zest of 1 lemon (optional, for brightness)

Pinch of sea salt (go easy since soy and Worcestershire are salty)

 

Instructions:

1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl or jar until well combined.

2. Place your steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it.

3. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, ideally 2–4 hours (up to 24 hours for thick cuts).

4. Remove steak from marinade and let it come to room temperature before cooking.

5. Pat dry with paper towels to get a good sear, then grill, pan-sear, or broil to your preferred doneness.
